How Many Languages Have You Programmed In?

[keirS]

Have been sorting out my archive of source code / data in readiness to put anything remotely useful on to cloud storage and have sorted it out by programming language. I have.

Assembly Language: Zilog Z80, MOS 6502, Motorola 6800x, Intel 808X, ARM
Basic: BBC, GW Basic, QuickBasic, Visual Basic, Real Basic, VBSctipt, B4A, B4J
C: C, C++
Cobol
DBase: IV, Clipper, FoxBASE, FoxPro, Visual Foxpro, Visual Objects
Forth:
Java
JavaScript
Lisp:Common Lisp, AutoLisp
Pascal: Pascal, Object Pascal, Delphi
Perl
Prolog, Visual Prolog
Snobol
SQL
SmallTalk

I have several other bits and pieces in various scripting languages. such as PostScript but the ones above are either complete and useful applications or form a significant part of other useful applications. I could probably only program in 5 of these now without some major catching up. I don't think I have done any Cobol programming for 20 years or so and probably longer than that for most of the assembly languages.

I hope you enjoyed Perl.

 

[Erel]

I will start with my languages
Basic4ppc, B4A, B4J and B4i.

Other:
GW Basic, eVB, Visual Basic, C#, Java, Objective C, C, SQL, PHP and JavaScript

As a student:
Assembler, C++, ML and SmallTalk

 

[lemonisdead]

I've started with PL/SQL (who laughs ? )
Then I've learned WLangage.

And only after that : I have met B4A, B4J.
Since two weeks I am using LiveCode to create scripts on Linux servers

Since two weeks I am using LiveCode to create scripts on Linux servers

What happened to bash?

 

[lemonisdead]

What happened to bash?

what's that ? Seriously : it is really easier for me to write sentences like

Filter Variable1 without "me"
Sort Variable1 ascending

 

[thedesolatesoul]

bash is the Bourne-Again-Shell. I didnt think it was possible to survive on linux without it.
I have no idea, how LiveCode works, seems be like SQL.

 

[lemonisdead]

seems be like SQL

On Linux, I do use the command line to manage the servers using the always same old ubuntu's reference card and that's all. The other part, I create scripts with LiveCode. More than SQL it is like HyperCard language.
And to be clear : LiveCode is only good for that. They have an option to create Android apps but, imagine the weight of their runtime : 2 MB at least to make the simplest task and the SDK they use is still Froyo... More expensive than B4A too.

At the first time, I had tried to use B4J for simple tasks but it was not as quick as LiveCode.

Not particularly. There was very little choice in the early days of web development. It was a bit of a relief when Microsoft released ASP and I could use JavaScript.

My first steps were with Fortran in the late 60s.
Then basic, basic, basic ...
I had tried Pascal and Modula2.
But mainly Basic:
HP-Basic on a HP 9836.
Commodore Basic
GFA Basic on Atari.
GW Basic, Quick Basic, GFA Basic, Visual-Basic 1 to 6 and eVB on PCs.
And then B4PPC, B4A and now B4i.

 

[Beja]

For me:
Machine code Z80 CPU, 6800, 6802, Sinclair BASIC, BasicA, GW-Basic, QuickBasic compiler, QB4.5, DOS Debug, Visual Basic 2 for DOS 6.22 (VB 3, 4, 5 ,6),
Basic4Android, B4J, B4i, dBase IV (DOS), proprietary instruction set for controllers.
And in school C++ but forgot it

 

[stevel05]

Mainly Basic,
ZX81 - Sinclair Basic - Mid 1970's and a little Assembler,
Atari ST Basic and a little C (nearly 40 years ago)
GW Basic on PC,
Pick Basic on Mini (Relational Database),
a little Python,
and recently B4A, B4PPC (briefly until B4j arrived) B4J and B4i and Java for background / libraries.
HTML5 / CSS just for the hell of it.
Just starting to look at Objective C.

@klaus
You are lucky to have worked with VB 1.. I never seen it.

 

[klaus]

I have not worked with VB2, when we ordered VB2 VB3 came out so we switched directly from 1 to 3.

 

[wonder]

B4A
Visual Basic
QBasic
Turbo Basic

C++
Pascal
ActionScript
VBscript
HTML

...and I know how display a MsgBox in Java.

 

[KMatle]

Cobol (at work)
VB
Assembler
QBasic
b4a
php

2 kids (still working on that)
Talking to women (programming will NOT work on those devices)

 

[barx]

All at varying levels, some only touched on

Visual Basic, Great Cow Basic, PICMicro ASM, Arduino (Processing variant), HTML, PHP, Classic ASP, mIRC Script, Java, Javascript.

........ oh and something called B4A

 

[Beja]

Klaus, you are absolutely right.. I was confused between the versions..
I also used vb 1 then vb 3, because MS never released vb2.

 

[klaus]

@Beja .

 

[JakeBullet70]

Way too many. (I have touched over ????) But a better question is how many languages where you fluent in (wrote every day off of the top of your head, Payed money. wrote 30,000 lines plus??? Your where PAYED for)

So, a total of 1,000,000 lines plus... (Was payed for) DBMan, DBase2, Dbase3, Dbase4 Clipper 5.X, Qbasic 4-6, VB3-6 (was a beta tester for VB1) VB.NET ??? , C#... and more I have forgotten. (that's 30+ years)

Touched, fixed... Pascal, c, c++, DB2 SQL (Just yesterday) Pervasive SQL (last week) 6502 ASM... AAAHHHH... Too many. Way too many. Never employee on these (Except for the SQL), I am a baby. I hate computers!!!! LOL

For me it's 30+years. I am to tired and need a nap

Someone get me a therapist...
