What do you code in?

SP534

Just wondering what kind of languages you guys use.

I'm a VB.net/Delphi/Asm man! :pac:

chughes

I'm a COBOL man myself.

biko

Started on COBOL, JCL and other mainframe lingos.
Now mainly scripts for tools.

Pygmalion

C++ mainly, have done some PHP, Javascript and Python (more PHP than the others, but not a huge amount of that either, just a couple of simple sites out of boredom), but recently nothing but C++.

Will probably (hopefully :P) be going to DCU next year (pending LC results) to study Computer Applications, so will probably be learning Java there.

showry

All Powerbuilder & TSQL at the moment.

Red Alert

C, Python with a smattering of FORTRAN.

Ouch...and I thought I was a dinosaur maintaining Delphi code! You're obviously working for a bank.

um7y1h83ge06nx

Started out in C, C++, Assembly and VB6.

Then did some PHP for a LAMP project.

Now doing Java with all the enterprise bells and whistles and Adobe Flex.

kayos

Ginger

VB.NET
TSQL
ECMAScript

Or basically whatever I am paid to work on

slavigo

Python (with the odd bit of Jython)

Malice

I work primarily with C# at the moment but in the past I've worked with various implementation of Visual Basic, PHP, Java and C++.

dazberry

I'm stuck in a Delphi job - surprised to see other people are still using it.

D.

NeverSayDie

These days, pretty much all C# both for work and side projects. Previous to that, some C++ and the odd bit of VB6. Previous to that again, plenty of Perl.

WizZard

I move electrons around on the hard disk platter

http://xkcd.com/378/

Civilian_Target

Mostly Java. Some PHP.
Previous jobs have covered Prolog / Datalog, C and COBOL to some level.

ronkmonster

c#
java
php
bit of vb

fasty

C++, C and C# in work with occasional C++/CLI for the slow kids at the back

At home I pretty much stick to C++ for my own projects, being a videogame and PHP for some freelance webdev stuff.

Haven't touched Java since college.

tja

Predominantly Java. But the amount of RPGLE I'm writing is increasing weekly.

towel401

python, php

used to write vb6. mang that language sucked

Saint_Mel

VB6 & VBA at the moment. Database in MS Acces and MySQL

In the past also worked with VB3, VB4, VB5, ScriptMaker, JCL, and Oracle Databases

toiletduck

Pseudocode Well Qt with C++ mainly. On personal stuff it's usual php.

Black Swan

Learning VB.

techguy

Started off using Qbasic..left it shortly after.

Use Java and PHP at the moment. I'm tinkering with a bit of C throught the arduino.

I'm loving PHP at the moment but I think C# is the next step unless I start something else next year in College!

scargill

powerbuilder & tsql

jester77

Java, RoR and perl

E39MSport

ksh, teradata, oracle

Isn't that a shell-scripting language?

E39MSport

I hope so.

Evil Phil

Strange the C# is listed under "Other .Net Languages".

Was just thinking that myself! C# scripting is one of the best i think

TinCool

I develop in-house stuff for the Telecoms Company I work for. Mostly ASP .Net frontends (coding in VB) and MS SQL backends. I try to code the business rules within TSQL so I'm only relying on the web service to do the donkey work. I do a fair bit of ActiveX Scripting for SQL jobs too as it's very flexible in what can be done with it.

Evil Phil

I code in my underpants :P

Anima

You mean that isn't the best way to program :pac:

jackdoes

LabVIEW 2009 and try to use C++ when I get the chance

cornbb

Am I the only Objective-C programmer here?

Also some C++ and a handful of C. And some scripting in Python/Bash.

Evil Phil

Just started playing with Python myself.

I've written a few ObjC/Cocoa apps and ported some old 3D demos to OSX but I've never come across anyone who programs ObjC apps professionally apart from yourself on this forum.

Sparks

Horses for courses.

C for system-level stuff and servers on unix; PHP for web stuff; Python for quick stuff (though I'm doing a larger project in it on the side for learning and fun); C++ where the job requires it. And some assembly for coursework.

There are a growing number of us now thankfully thanks to the iPhone's popularity. I've spotted a few on the Mac forum and elsewhere on boards.

PauliM

Coding in LISP. I guess that makes me strange!

Hoping to move on to a OOP like C# or Java soon.

whiterob81

With what I'm working on currently, it's VB.NET for the front end and Tsql for the back end.

Worked with a bit of datatrieve and cobol before. Found them both horrendous to work with. But that was probably down to a lack of training

Jaysus...welcome to the 21st century! Datatrieve sure brings me back.

That was only last year! Worked with it for a year. Absolutely hated it. Slow, clunky crap. Still in use in some government departments. They can't get rid of it quick enough imo

Raskolnikov

Actionscript, am I the only one?

kincsem

Foxpro, badly. I'll get my coat.

Jagera

All Business Intelligence related (not exactly programming). building SQL Server cubes, data integration, MDX. Been @ SQL Server for 12 years.

Used to do Powerbuilder in the olden days. Good to see a few previous posters still at it.

dazberry

I've spent the last few weeks reverse engineering some functionality from a 20 year old C/Ingres unix based system (with Y2K and EMU updates) to a monolithic Delphi/Oracle system. I want to kill myself

D.

dlofnep

Java & PHP, although I do have experience with C++, and to a more limited extent C.

Powerbuilder used to have quite a base in the financial sector because of Sybase.

It's amazing to see companies still shell out zillions for third-party OLAP functionality when MS SSAS in SQL Server does it all as part of the standard licence. They've managed to integrate it nicely into VS, but some of the 'seams' are still there, it originally was a product they bought it from an Israeli company.
