Something to kick this forum off. As the title says, what programming languages do you know?

Me, I know C, C++, D, and a little Java, and XUL (the language used by mozilla products). I also know HTML, CSS, and javascript, but that's getting over to the web development area.
 
C, C++, Java, Python, PHP, Visual Basic, Haskell, sh, and whatever else.

I'd like to learn Ruby and Smalltalk next.
 
I know a little VB, some C++, some Java, and MMF (counts as half :-D). I have no experience whatsoever with any of them web development things...

Haha, Smalltalk. :-D No idea what Ruby is, though. What are its strong points?
 
Wow, such experience here already. Me, I only know the good basics of Java and a little more C++. I could pick up other programming languages if I tried hard to study...
I know HTML, CSS and a hint of PHP if any of that counts.
 
Ruby is an object-oriented scripting language. I heard it originated from Japan and resembles Smalltalk. There's something called "Ruby on Rails" that's supposedly a very neat way to code and deploy web applications. Anyway, I'll look into it, eventually.
 
Ruby has some very interesting features that make parallel programming easier.

I know PHP, C, C++, bash, PHP, Java and that dreaded VB well enough to solve most algorithmic problems. I don't know much in the way of UI programming - but interactive programming isn't exactly my favourite thing to do.
 
You must really love PHP, as you mentioned it twice. :-D I guess I'll have to look into Ruby, too. It being from Japan made me curious, as Japan is known for its lagging in the software sector when it comes to computing... and if they made something worthwhile, I just have to know what it is. XD;;
 
I havne't programemd in ages.

But, java, C, VB, basic, C++, some XML, general scripting for a couple of programs such as mirc and a few others. Simple shiite.
 
Perl, my baby
C++ mostly out of necessity
VB, sorta, although I haven't bothered with it in years
Java due to having to take it for a class although I REALLY don't like it
some Python, although I just played with it for a little while and then decided it's not my thing (still a nice language though)
a little PHP by translation from Perl, although I utterly despise it
XHTML/CSS because they are internet legos
Javascript or ECMAscript or whatever, although I haven't used it in a while since I don't even know what will work in all four major engines anymore
SQL because it's sexy
bash/awk/sed/general *nix shell
I've used Gimp 1.x's version of Scheme before, gave it a nod and told it it is a very interesting language, and then ran away screaming.
and uh I guess that's all the recognizable ones I can think of. someone has told me to look at Ruby but it seems like it would be a bit, and I'm awfully lazy.
 
I'm still in the process of learning PHP, Delphi and Flash.
I hope to become more professional in at least one of these^^
 
Peh... Coding is what I do for a living. I'm surprised I never saw this forum before, lol. I work for a company that develops software for missile defense. Basically, I just work with whatever language we need to use at the time. Sometimes we start from the ground up, and in those cases we suit the language to the needs of the software. But mostly, we deal with C/C++ MFC application-based software, and some of the older ones like FORTRAN and Basic. I've even done some stuff with ADA and 8086 ASM assembly. 0_o That was some sadistic stuff...

Some of the Database stuff I've dealt with involved Oracle and MySQL, along with some basic Access database programming. Not really a whole lot of that. :/

I've had my hands in web-development projects too... I've used Java, Javascript, HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS, Perl and CGI, as well as a little XML recently. It gets to the point eventually that, when necessity requires you to learn a new language, you just do it, and it gets easier every time. Some of you more hardened programmers will know what I'm talking about. :) I haven't been in this business long, but I know enough so far to know that I enjoy it. I hope things continue down the path they're going. There are newer, better languages coming out all the time, and although I primarily contract to the government (which is notorious for using the same languages they're used to) I do get to delve into them eventually.

I've experimented with Oracle and even with ASP, didn't find it too useful when I worked as both tech support and the stand in computer engineer/sys admin at teh company I worked for.

I was starting to get the hang of it, when they hired an actual sys admin fo the company. So I went back down to tech support and repair. That was tedious enough on its own.
 
Language is not the only thing that matters - programming environment is also important. (Although, most languages have a substantial programming environment specified in the standard...)
 
Just HTML, Flash, and simple scripting. I don't have much use for programming as of now but I'll take some C++ and Java in hs and whatever else in college.
 
English, Spanish, Fre . . .

Oh you meant programming languages. ;) Java and a little C++. HTML and JavaScript if they count. Take care.
 
I studied C last semester at university so you could say I know that; I also did a couple of years of VB(6) at school, so I'm decent with that. We're about to start Haskell at uni. When it comes to web development, I'm pretty well-versed in HTML, CSS and PHP, and know enough to get by with JavaScript as well.
 
Well, I'm not that good, I only know some HTML...
 
I've used C++ and a smidge of MIPS, an assembly launage simulator.
