Do you know a programming language?

I'm somewhat surprised to see as many Labview programmers here as there are. I loved programming in Labview though it was mental whiplash jumping back and forth between Fortran77 and Labview. I don't get to use it anymore as my current job doesn't call for it and I haven't found a way to bs my boss into buying it for me so I can play with it again. 🙁
 
I've got a new one: MEL scripting (Maya embedded language - more or less simplified C)

a little C++ and VBS, working on javascript.

granted not much if you're an EE, but pretty good for an architect/designer.

Yes, they are. They are high level instruction sets that tell the computer what to do therefore programming languages. They lack the verbs found in other languages but are none the less programming languages.

Anyway to the OQ:

Fortran, BASIC, LabView, perl, HTML, CSS, plus a couple obscure proprietary scripting languages.

Also just enough javascript and php to almost but quite do what I want to do.


EDIT: I see I entered the fray a bit late, nevermind, the horse is dead.

I have to respectfully disagree on HTML and CSS. HTML and CSS do not tell a computer what to do, they tell a web browser what a page should look like. HTML is a markup language, but the fact that it has "language" in its name should not be interpreted to mean that it is a programming language. If HTML and CSS are programming languages, so is postscript. Or just about any other file format for that matter.

XML is also not a programming language, but from what I know of XSLT it probably could be considered a programming language.

Javascript and PHP are clearly programming languages, I won't disagree there.
 
c/c++ (with mpi), ada95, fortran77, java, matlab, scheme (lisp)

ok folks, HTML is NOT programming. seriously.

my stance has always been something like this... with some exceptions, if I can't write LU-factor or some other simple linalg algorithm with it, it's not programming.
 
There was another one I had to use to get a imaging workstation running after the previous user had hosed it. This was back in 1989 and ran on IBM AT but wasn't DOS based. I can't remember the name of it now, APL maybe. Anyway the trick with it was that it was possible for the user to modify the language (sort of like modern extensible languages) and the changes would affect the OS so the user could hose the system without too much effort. I don't even remember the structure of the language now.
 
I've been a computer programmer for about 20 years. These are the ones I've used at various jobs:

C, C++, Assembly (Intel & Motorola), Pascal, Modula-2, Perl, LISP, C#, VB.NET and crappy old VB *shudder*, Fortran 77, Ada, and REXX.

Woot! Someone else who knows REXX! There's not many of us left.

lets see...

java, c, c++ (stl and resolve), php, lisp, sql, c#, opengl, sparc and motorolla assembly... uhm... i think thats it, 🙂

sad part... i don't even program, 🙁. i deal with patent law now... LOL
 
C, C++ (with MFC), Java, C#, C++.net, VB, VB.net, LISP, VHDL, PHP, Sparc Assembly, PDP-11 Assembly, M68k Assembly, M6502 Assembly, SQL, TI Basic, Fortran, Cobol


Need to learn Perl, Pascal
Refuse to learn J++


.net 1.1 and .net 2.0 are not programming languages, they're runtime frameworks.
 
I have used the following language(s).....C++, COBOL, PASCAL, Assembly, PowerBuilder (don't laugh), PL/SQL, JCL.....Last couple years it's all been Java, JavaScript.


Edit...I should say that Pascal, Assembly and C++ was only for classes. I never used in the real world.
 
If it isn't here, you should add it. I had one of those PhD at 20 professors that made a lot of contributions to that page with obscure languages that he is one of the few people that know. It really sucks to use languages that even the creator has abandoned.

It's fun, I love it.

I'm an EE so LabVIEW is perfect for me to put together a measurement sytem real quick.
It's got so many great features.

 
Quite a few.

Have I used all of them recently. Not really. 🙁
Do mostly .NET stuff now. Not that .NET isn't great to use, but I miss C/C++ and the other things.
