What other programming languages do you LIKE to use?

[cragwolf]

I like to use OCaml because it's a functional language, and so it forces me to think about programming in a different way than I'm used to. I'm still learning it, though, and it's a lot of fun.

I like coding in C++, but I abhor reading it or maintaining it.
Pascal is the opposite... much easier to read and maintain, a bit more typing to code.
Lua looks interesting but havent tried it yet!

When I saw the title of your thread "What other programming languages do you LIKE to use?" I thought "Well, finally I'll be able to advertise my other second favourite language, OCaml". But you already taken that

I immediately started to write in this post what are the practical advantages and disadvantages between OCaml and ObjectPascal, but I realized that it would make a two-page post, so I deleted it Wikipedia links from cragwolf do a good job, and so does OCaml manual, at explaining the power of OCaml language. And, like all languages from ML-family, it's still quite comfortable language even when you insist on programming some parts in imperative style. So, yes, it's a practical language.

As for my "script" languages, when it's related to running processes I use bash, and when it comes to text-processing I wrote some larger functions in EmacsLisp.

My other language is C++, because it's my day job. I have also done a lot of DOS batch programming recently. I never realised just how much funky stuff you can do with DOS commands.

Other languages:

C/C++ : first learnt at university, then refreshed to code on the Gameboy Advance

Java : Mainly because of my job, used for web applications, e-learning platforms, MHP Games, applets, servlets and misc stuff..

Visual Basic: ops: :cry: :roll:

C#: Downloaded some weeks ago the Micro$oft C# Studio (free) but i've not yet started to do something serious

That's all

As odd as this may sound, I actually enjoy designing web pages using PHP. I know, it's like a funky C spin-off though, huh? :lol:

Well thats about it besides maybe JavaScript or HTML, but those only half count.

oh... Assembly is fun too!

[dmantione]

I especially use clean languages, ones that were designed with good taste. For compiled languages, I don't even want to use anything but Pascal, anything else feels like being a traitor and especially C++ and Fortran were designed with a bad feeling for taste. For scripting languages, I enjoy TCL. It's a clean alternative for both PHP and shell scripts, which both were designed with bad taste. It is also usefull for database programming, I design PostgreSQL functions with it.

I consider Python is also a nice language, however, I do not use it.

[jdarling]

Well the ones that I use are:

Compiled:
Assembly, Inform, C/C++

Scripting:
PHP, Lua

I know alot more, but those are the ones I prefer. Actually I know way too many languages it seems

If you guys enjoy "different way" of programming try Prolog, from some reson it is in use in my uni, that and Ada :?
Also programmed in Assembler, VB (3VIL), C, just recently Java, and alot of "other" basic languages. personally I think Delphi takes all of them

Edit: I would LIKE to learn C# and ASP.NET, it became such an hot topic those day..

I started years ago with BASIC on a sinclair zx spectrum (wow ).
Pascal apart, I use PHP/HTML/SQL for some freelance jobs here and there
