    That depends – which job am I applying for, and how many questions are you going to ask about what’s on my resume?

    EDIT: I suppose if I’m going to bother posting, I should also actually answer the question. I use mainly Python and C, though I’ve learned and used several others to a greater or lesser degree over the years. Also, I quite like sed if we’re doing scripting languages.

      Most of them, and a bunch of others. Just learned something like a programming language today.

      I’ve probably forgotten more programming languages than most kids today could list. Comes with the territory if you’re in the business for over 40 years.

      Oh boy, PL/SQL!

      in my previous job, we had one product with ~2M lines of code, which had one single PL/SQL procedure that was 10 000 lines long.

        Coincidentally, I do work on embedded devices, but as mentioned by ferret, most embedded stuff nowadays is (I think?) an Arm variant. Most all of the device code I write is C++ though; no need to get into assembly land unless clang screws something up, but that hasn’t happened yet thankfully. That said, in the future, this may change as we optimize certain imaging algorithms further.

    I find this question very interesting. What does it mean to “know” a programming language. They map to certain paradigms for how to solve problems, in various degrees, with different tradeoffs there for surrounding tooling, libs, and what not.

    A bunch of the most familiar ones are procedural with different sprinkles on top, and they pretty much do the same things when it comes to the “language” side. So, “knowing” one, or another, IMO, has little to do with the syntax, parsing and keywords, and is much more if you have suffered through cryptic compile errors, figured out good debugging tooling, etc.

    Which is to say, if we compare these two list

    • C++, Haskell, Prolog
    • C++, Java, Python, Rust, Kotlin, Objective-C, Dart, etc

    I’d consider the first one much more impressive in terms of diversity in “knowing programming languages”. And, I say that as someone belonging squarely in the latter.

      Yeah this question seems weird. Isn’t programming less about knowing and more about solving?

    A little of them all, just enough to be a jill of all trades but a mistress of none.

    In rough chronological order: Basic, Pascal, 6800 asm, 68000 asm, C, Smalltalk, Python, Java, Javascript. Worked with but wouldn’t claim to “know”: Fortran, COBOL, Prolog, Lisp, C++, Rust, Go.

    proficient at some point in the last 20 years:

    • C
    • ladder logic (for PLCs - dont take this from me)
    • Verilog
    • VHDL
    • C#
    • C++
    • PHP
    • Go (this is my daily driver)

    I would hate to count JavaScript and friends.

    I’m not great at any language but I know mainly Python, PowerShell, and some Bash. I don’t like Bash.

    The first Programming course I took was in C++ which I actually like the syntax of. Unfortunately I have not used it in years. The course was also pretty simple with exclusively simple CLI programs so I never had to worry about anything like garbage collection or optimization. So the only c++ programs I have written are quite similar to something similar in Python or PowerShell.

    The second course was in C# but I don’t really remember anything except that classes exist.

    It’s not a programming language but I also know HTML and CSS.

    I really should learn JavaScript someday. Rust also seems to be pretty good.

    Perl is supposedly pretty good too, so I should learn that for scripting.

    Well?

    • JavaScript (and TypeScript)
    • PHP
    • Bash (is that a programming language?)

    Poorly?

    • Java

    Including markup and querying languages?

    • HTML
    • SQL

    Including languages that definitely aren’t programming languages?

    • Regex
    • CSS
