What language can you write in?

Probably forgot a few...
------------------------
At work
---------
BASIC
C
C++
Python
Lua
Various custom script languages (GEL only name I can remember)
ASM (68000, SH4, x86, PowerPC, MIPS (3000, 5900), PS2 Vector Units, ARM)
HLSL/Cg/GLSL
Shader ASM (various DX and OpenGL dialects)
C#
XML
Addional ones that I have learnt but never used in anger
-------
Modula-2
COBOL
FORTRAN
Java
Pascal
SQL
Prolog
Z

I primarily write in C these days but, off the top of my head, here is a list of the languages I have programmed in (ignoring formatting things like HTML) in roughly chronological order:
BASIC (initially with marked cards)
6805 assembler
CHIP-8 (urghhh)
Pascal
Fortran 4 (!!)
DEC 10 assembler (anyone for 36bit words?!)
Fortran 77
Simula ("object oriented" from the 60s)
Lisp
Prolog (wow)
68000 assembler
Pascal Plus
C
Occam
Transputer Assembler
C++
Awk
x86 assembler
Vertex shader
Maybe there are more but they are best forgotten

What??? I adore Python.
It actually forces coding cleanliness and good conventions by forcing you to demarcate changes in your code with tabbing.
I absolutely love that. Too many damned perl/js/script kiddie hackers out there writing absolutely crap.
Strict and Warnings are your perl friends.

In one programming course at Uni we covered 3 languages, Simular, Lisp, and then Prolog.K.I.L.E.R said:
We had to code the same problem in each - a scheduler which took in a list of tasks and dependencies and output the best order to run them in given that , IIRC, each could be run in parallel.
The Simula (similar to Pascal/C with some object encapsulation) answer took about 12 pages.
The Lisp solution took about 2 pages.
The Prolog solution - about 12 lines!!!!!
I wouldn't exactly classify XML as a language. It's more a format. Various XML schema types with executional or delarative semantics are languages (XSLT, CFML, etc). I consider ASP/JSP to be more platform API than "language", since they are mostly an application server container API with the ability to inject code into markup.
My list:
Assembly Languages: IA-32, z80, MIPS, 6502, and 680x0
Scripting: Perl, Python, TCL, JavaScript, Awk, Basic, Bourne Shell, REXX (AmigaRexx and NetRexx)
Presentational: (X)HTML, CSS, XForms, XSLT/XPath/XQuery, JSP/JSF, ASP, XUL, DSSSL
Declarative: SQL (PL/SQL and Transact/SQL), Prolog, CLIPS/JESS, OQL, XSchema, and DTD
Procedural: Fortran, C, Pascal, Forth
Object Oriented: SmallTalk, Self, Java, C#, C++, E
Functional-ish: Lisp/Scheme, Haskell, OCaml (dabble in last two for fun)
Graphics: VRML, Vertex/Pixel shaders, HLSL
Fun: CoreWars assembly, LambdaMOO,
Specialized: ANTLR, JavaCC, Yacc, (J)BURG/BURS
However, languages I use most frequently are Java, C++, and Perl, plus SQL, HTML, CSS, and XML related. I'm a member of the W3C expert group on XHTML, CSS, and XForms so I spend a lot of time on those languages. I use JESS for Semantic Web research, and a project to location aware intelligent agents into mobile phones.
If you asked me to write some 6502 or 680x0, I'd probably have to refresh my memory, but I could likely read it fine. My Pascal is probably a little rusty. Haskell and OCaml, I would claim to be a novice in. I just like them for playing around because they are so cool and expressive. MIPS I learned in school, but never used it outside.
The language I hate the most is C++. I've been doing it for 7 years and I hate it with a passion. Language I like the best is a tossup between Java, Smalltalk, Lisp, and C. I like C for its utter simplicity and freedom.

I mainly write in C++ for both work and my hobby projects. However, to list the programming languages I have written in, roughly:
BASIC (for IBM PC/XT, I am young )
8088 ASM
C
dBase3 (and some Clipper)
C++
Scheme/Common LISP
Perl
Ada
Java
some PHP
Pixel shader/Vertex shader
There are probably some I forgot, but they are not important if I forgot them

had to learn lisp for 2 AI classes. God it was freaky. It still amazes me what you can do with it. After a while I started dreaming in lisp That never happened to me when i learned anyother language. It seemed like i kept falling down a hole.
epic
ps:
c/c++
basic
pascal
tcl/tk
java
javascript
c#
assembly
lisp
html
sql
fortran 77
prolog

If you're going to be perverse, why not use Whitespace?[maven said:]I'm still waiting to be able to write pixel shaders in brainfuck.
