No actual programming language, but I do know a few scripting languages...

Bash, Powershell and PHP, all with various proficiencies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Well?

  • JavaScript (and TypeScript)
  • PHP
  • Bash (is that a programming language?)

Poorly?

  • Java

Including markup and querying languages?

  • HTML
  • SQL

Including languages that definitely aren’t programming languages?

  • Regex
  • CSS
[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

In order of learning:

  • Basic
  • Fortran
  • Pascal
  • 6502 Assembler
  • Cobol
  • C
  • Unix shell
  • Quel
  • Awk
  • Troff
  • Perl (my favorite)
  • SQL
  • C++
  • Java
  • PL/SQL
  • Javascript
[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Most of them, and a bunch of others. Just learned something like a programming language today.

I've probably forgotten more programming languages than most kids today could list. Comes with the territory if you're in the business for over 40 years.

Roughly C, C++, Python, Java... But not all of them on an expert level.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Been a while:

  • MDX
  • DAX
  • VB

On the regular:

  • Python
  • SQL
  • C#
  • Bash
  • PowerShell

Historically I do data work, lots of integration and automation tools to support solutions. Primarily back end, some DBA work, do infrastructure and architecture too so less these days with keys on keyboard. Did learn Basic, C and Java in school but have never used in a work environment.

Surprised no one else here knows HTML

Edit: I'm also good with XML

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

Aren't HTML and XML markup languages and not turing complete? So they don't qualify as programming languages, because you can't program in them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I believe XML with XSLT is technically Turing complete. No one would program with it for any practical application, but it could technically be considered a programming language.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

But yeah I'm just kidding :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Maybe you can't

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

The myspace days are so far away I've forgotten all of the html i once knew.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I can get by in bash.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Not many I'm entirely self taught and was into some dodgy things while I was into this programming.

I started off making password crackers in Visual basic I also let's say experimented in trojans and taking over the api functions of popular chat programs etc. I used to do some really childish let's call them pranks of people who argued with me in chateooms etc.

Never went much further than delphi as far as programming goes although I got surprisingly good at that but never in good ways.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Rust and a bit of Python

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Ordered by my proficiency:

  • perl
  • C
  • Python
  • Java
  • Pascal
  • Lisp
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

In no particular order.
Basic, Python, C , C++, Ruby, Java, Scheme, PHP, ASM, Bash. Does SPSS or CSPro count?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That depends -- which job am I applying for, and how many questions are you going to ask about what's on my resume?

EDIT: I suppose if I'm going to bother posting, I should also actually answer the question. I use mainly Python and C, though I've learned and used several others to a greater or lesser degree over the years. Also, I quite like sed if we're doing scripting languages.

Depends on your definition of "know". Honestly nowadays I don't feel too scared to try something in any language.

I'm most proficient in Java and Python. In my free time I nowadays spend most of my time messing around with Haskell, Julia, or Rust. And I have some basic knowledge in a lot of other languages, including C, C++, C#, Kotlin, Groovy, Prolog, JavaScript, SQL, etc, etc.

But as I said in the beginning, I'm not too scared of learning something new. If someone were to ask me for a job where I'd be using Go or Kotlin or something then I'd be fairly confident that I could adjust quite quickly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I took a programming class in highschool, so I know some BASIC. Not that I've ever used it since then.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I guess I’ll be the representation of knowing none

Enough of some to get me into trouble. I edited nethack to give me 95% probability to get wands of death, but then everyone got wands of death. And I still know Hypercard.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Professionally, I’ve worked with Python, C++, C# and Java. Also briefly a little bit of Perl.

Outside work, I’ve also done JavaScript, Go and Haskell.

There are many more languages I’ve played around with, but I don’t want to list them all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

In high school I took classes on Visual Basic, C++, and Java, and learned some ActionScript on my own, but I wouldn’t feel confident with any of them nowadays. I suppose I could still write a basic HTML 4 page, but CSS was always a weak point and I don’t think either of those really count as programming languages anyways.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

A little of them all, just enough to be a jill of all trades but a mistress of none.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Proficient: Rust, C++, Python, x86-64 ASM, SSE1 SIMD, C#, C, Javascript / Node.JS
Can get by: Java / JNI, Kotlin, Bash
Been a while: Perl, Haskell, Prolog, Labview, Lisp

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

ASM - are you working with embedded electronics?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Coincidentally, I do work on embedded devices, but as mentioned by ferret, most embedded stuff nowadays is (I think?) an Arm variant. Most all of the device code I write is C++ though; no need to get into assembly land unless clang screws something up, but that hasn't happened yet thankfully. That said, in the future, this may change as we optimize certain imaging algorithms further.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

x86 is rarely used in embedded these days

In rough chronological order: Basic, Pascal, 6800 asm, 68000 asm, C, Smalltalk, Python, Java, Javascript. Worked with but wouldn't claim to "know": Fortran, COBOL, Prolog, Lisp, C++, Rust, Go.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Like most other languages, I only learned the swear words.

Programming languages in which i have done some project besides basic exercises: Python C# C++ Java

The most used and known is Pyrhon
