Too many.
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.
I know Python well, but I could build basic things with C++ and Fortran. I use bash a lot too. I know the basics of html and css if those count. And I barely remember some stuff from Matlab
I'm fluent in C#, C++, C, Rust, Java, Python, and JavaScript, plus Sass/CSS, HTML, and SQL, although I'm not sure they count as full languages. I've also worked with Dart, Kotlin, Assembly (various flavors), Bash scripts, F#, Perl, and Lua.
I've probably done more but can't remember them all offhand.
Can code in without code completion or checking the docs: C, C#, Scala, F#, SQL (ms server), js/ts, Erlang, Elixir
Have a general idea of but may need to check things about the standard library every so often: Kotlin, Python, OCaml, C++, prolog
Have used in the past but would need to look up the syntax to use again: Go, Rust, Haskell, Java, Gleam
I'm probably missing some from each category though
What's your thoughts on Gleam vs Elixir?
I just started learning elixir last month then I read about gleam, watched some video introductions, it looks good, but I think Elixir is still the better language to learn right now to choose one.
I can get by in bash.
Java/Kotlin and JavaScript/Typescript primarily now. I used to know Visual Basic, PHP, C/C++, and COBOL; but I haven't touched any of them in almost 20 years now.
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.
Rust and a bit of Python
In no particular order.
Basic, Python, C , C++, Ruby, Java, Scheme, PHP, ASM, Bash. Does SPSS or CSPro count?
I've dabbled in a LOT more, but if I had to give an honest answer to languages I could write whatever I want with it the answer is probably C, C++, Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, Bash.
I've been meaning to learn Rust, and all of the people here claiming it's their favorite language is very interesting, but I haven't found the time because it's just not relevant to what I do for work (and not likely to change anytime soon).
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.
Python, Rust and Lua. SQL if that counts as well.
Javascript, Bash and Python. Learning Rust
C#, F#, Visual Basic, SQL, Powershell, JavaScript, Regex, a little Bash, Vimscript and Haskell
Knew, but haven’t used in the last 20 years: C/C++, Java, Object Pascal, Ada
basic, pascal, c, c#, c++, asm-mips/x86, perl, python, rust, lisp, scheme, slang, java, bash
Ordered by my proficiency:
- perl
- C
- Python
- Java
- Pascal
- Lisp
Python, but we're more just acquaintances, I wouldn't say I know them well or anything
In no particular order: C C# C++ Perl (been a long time, would need a refresher) Python Rust (favorite) TCL (kill it with fire) JavaScript Typescript Java Kotlin X86 assembly Arm assembly Riscv assembly Bash (shell scripting in general) Dart
Might be some others I haven't touched in while.
I also had the unfortunate experience of having to write windows batch scripts for a month. I can't decide whether I hated TCL or batch more.
Python
If you count being able write passable snippets: Java, JavaScript, C,C++,maybe Matlab and bash
Order of learning:
- Garry's mod Wiremod Expression 2
- C#
- C++
- C
- Rust
- Nim
- Lua
- Python
- Javascript/Typescript
- POSIX Shell Script
- Elixir
It's very easy to change languages once you learn the fundamentals. I've worked with more languages but those are the ones I worked with the most with my favourite and goto being Rust.
Does that statement apply to someone who uses python with the finesse of a woodchipper?
...asking for a friend.
Can reliably code in - Python, Lua, R (if it counts)
Can badly code in - C++, Prolog, Visual Basic
Can read the syntax of - Java, JavaScript, GDscript, Basic, SQL
Will never touch - PERL
Python, C, and FORTRAN are my main languages. Some projects have also led me to write code in Java, C#, C++, Javascript, and Lua.
High, how performane?
Python, C#, Rust
Used a bit of C++ and Matlab, but saying I know them is a stretch really.
I know that they're not really "programming languages" but I've used a little bit of Batch, HTML and CSS in the past and I also use a little bit of Bash occasionally.
I use/used Bash and Batch mostly for creating desktop shortcuts or for running games/apps with specific parameters.
For HTML and CSS I used to maintain my own website a few years ago through Neocities but I deleted it after about 9 months because I never got any positive feedback from the people who viewed it and I lost interest. I do occasionally think about creating another website under a different name but I have no idea what I'd do with it.
Can reliably code in: Swift.
At some point in time have written code in: C++, Java, Python, ActionScript 3, Objective-C, C#, Lua, GDScript.
A dozen flavours of BASIC, a few of C, Fortran, Pascal, and one or two others.
- C#
- Java
- Kotlin
- JavaScript/Typescript
- Python
- Go
- Ruby
- SQL
I'm sure I'm forgetting some.
Don't know any, don't want to know any. Not a good field for my brain or soul.
I'm a retired programmer. A recent attempt at writing a Python script showed me that I have forgotten a LOT of the syntactic details. With that in mind, these are the langs that I have used professionally. "Know" might be an exaggeration at this point. HP basic Fortran C C++ C# Java Perl Python HTML (if that counts) Awk/sed
Fluent in c#, c++ and elixir, know a lot of other ones. I'll be to get back to python in a few months for a new job.
