CS Majors, what language do you use?

[BFG10K]

It varied but the core language was C++. In the industry most of my work has been with VB and Access.

 

[flashbacck]

anyone ever use PROLOG? Worst P.O.S. EVER. This is what they made us use for an A.I. class. Go figure. That's what I get for going to a calstate "university."

 

[BFG10K]

Yep, I used Prolog too. And yes, a lot of universities use it for AI programming.

 

[Appledrop]

you can get a degree in counterstrike

Programming languages being used in the real world at the time were Fortran/Pascal/Cobol/RPG/Assembly with futuristic LISP

Wow, you're old... no wait, so am I

I am highly appreciated in my workplace because of my 1337 Cobol skills (yes, we still have 1 program tailored for us in Cobol!)... People today have no idea of real programming!

Did you also walk 10 miles in the snow to work, barefoot, uphill both ways?

Just fond memories of all the guys who used to say that (they've all died of old age by now though). God rest their souls.

 

[EngenZerO]

i have used the following... for school

c, c++, java and scheme regulary...

for work... php/html...

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

I used C++ in college (just over a year ago) mainly

doesnt mips suck? I hate it .. especially recursion

What's wrong with MIPS? It's fantastic - you never have to worry about weird modes or caveats like "LOOP only reads from ecx" or "MUL has to have one operand in eax". You hate the instruction set because you can't figure out how to write push/pop, or what? As a RISC instruction set, it's also easy to remember all the instructions you need.

Maybe I just love it because as an EE/CE, it's so much cleaner to implement in hardware.

Had to pull the plow when I got home after school.


Punch cards and toggle switches. No terminals existed at the time.

Yep, I had a few professors who's standard response to any question or problem was:
Just be glad you don't have to use punch cards and wait 16 hours for your program to run.

The TAs that ran the batch processing sections were considered to be gods.
Piss them off and your job would get sidetracked or wind out having a missing control card.

Seems like some of the Mods and wanna-bes around here
