RSS FeedAfter seeing this Programming Languages Chart again, I thought about all the programming languages that I have learned and actually written code in:
- Dartmouth Basic
- Fortran II
- APL
- Applesoft Basic
- 6502 assembly
- Z80 assembly
- Fortran 66
- IBM JCL
- Fortran 77
- Jovial J73
- Mil Std 1750a assembly
- Z8000 assembly
- Turbo Pascal
- 8088 assembly
- C
- 680X0 assembly
- Forth
- C with object extensions
- Postscript
- Think C
- C++
- PowerPC assembly
- Java
- SQL
- Objective-C
- Perl
- Javascript
Of course I have played with many others, especially lately, but these represent real use.
The coolest language that I ever used was APL. So much power in so few lines of code; but the next day you had no idea what it did.
In 1988 I read about OO for the first time but had no language available to me so I wrote my own object extensions on C. It was pretty oddball, but it worked, and still lives on today (as far as I know, a scary thought) in the Deltagraph source code.
