Geeks corner - Programming languages you have used

[VectraMan]

hmmm... Essex University computer science course, was it?

Kent University. I think the guy was Prof. David Morse that invented it as a way of pissing off undergraduates by making us learn something ridiculously complicated that wasn't capable of doing anything useful whatsoever.

[NotAllThere]

It was invented by Dave Turner - who was my lecturer in Functional Languages.

Yes you're right, wrong David:

[gingerjedi]

Cordel
Siftran
EKAF
IMTU

[TimberWolf]

Used or dabbled with most of the langauges mentioned. Plus a little Forth, so little it wouldn't be worth mentioning except for the fact that it hasn't been mentioned yet. Plus I've had occasion to write my own noddy language for my own amusement value.

Other than stuff at Uni the only ones I've ever really done any kind of serious progamming on were:

PERL
Assorted Unix scripting languages
LPC ( bastardised version of C++ used almost exclusively for programming online text games, or MUD's.)

[Fran]

Java
Matlab
VB (inc VBA and VB Script)
C#
VB.Net
Perl
Javascript (does that count?)


I feel like a child in an old peoples home.

[Flubster]

Datatrieve
COBOL
Pascal
SAS (and SCL)

[VectraMan]

Javascript (does that count?)

I've done quite a lot with Javascript (or ECMAScript to be accurate), including building it into an application and writing an interpreter for it, plus using it with ASP (urgh). But I've little idea about Javascript as it's used on web pages.

You try explaining that to an agent who thinks that Javascript can only mean websites.
