Let's see ... including those I could do more than just write "Hello, World" in ...

  • Assembly Language (6502) learned this on the Commodore 64.
  • Active Server Pages web dev in the early days
  • Bash coz Linux
  • BASIC first language (TI-99/4A)
  • Boo from my intro to MVC
  • C when I got tired of assembly
  • C++ my introduction to objects
  • C# one of two languages I've used since it was created
  • COBOL early business developer days
  • Fortran forced to use this in college (maybe why I dropped out?)
  • Go learned recently, mostly for its WebAssembly support
  • IBM RPG/RPG ILE from my AS/400 programming days (now iSeries)
  • J# tried this out to transition to C#
  • J++ sadly fell for this in the early days of Microsoft
  • Java language used in the startup days of a company I worked at in late 00s
  • JavaScript second language I've used continuously since it was invented
  • JScript coz I liked it better than VBScript
  • LINQ for biz data queries and aggregations
  • Lisp because sets are fun
  • Objective-C back in the early mobile device management days
  • Pascal language I learned in high school
  • Perl get stuff done on Unix machines
  • PHP webmaster days
  • PowerShell admin all the things
  • QuakeC one of my favorite languages - I was quite active in the Quake scene
  • QBasic to get it done faster
  • Rust one I've learned most recently and am quite enjoying
  • SQL/T-SQL coz apps need data, too ... wrote my first SQL in 1994 (25 years ago!)
  • TypeScript making JavaScript scalable since the beta
  • VisualBasic COM objects for the world!
  • XPath/XSLT because XML was going to rule the world

Wow, thanks for that excuse to trip down memory lane! I am familiar with/have written code in probably a half dozen more, but that's more hobby. The languages I listed I either have been paid to write or could have if I was working age when I learned them.
