Are you a programmer? -- Poll Remake

[idoL]

Java Script,
Python,
Lisp,
some disassembling knowledge.

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

I used to know a bunch of languages till I started using Python. Now I forgot them all because they're useless.

[Arta]

lol, that's balanced

[QwertyMonster]

Uh i dont know much..

Visual Basic
A little of C++

[tA-Kane]

REALbasic, C, PPC Assembly.
Basic HTML, PHP, and C++.

PHP

Isn't that a scripting language?

Not necessarily. Zend compiles PHP into executable-like files.

Sounds like Java.

[shout]

C# is what I know, but I guess its almost the same thing as java.

I am currently learning C++.

[Warrior]

Visual Basic, PHP, Some C++, Java Learner

[Blaze]

QB, VB, Some C, learning php and mysql.

[Newby]

In terms of comfort:

C#
Visual Basic
x86 Assembly
Perl
C/C++
Java

That's how I am. Once I got good with Python I stopped using Visual Basic 6/.NET altogether and I don't have any plans like I used to to learn C/C++.

Python is somewhat of a dead end though. It doesn't get you to assembler!

Also, as far as I can see, there's no cross-compiling python compiler written in python, so you can't port python to a new machine architecture, you always have to use C?

[Yegg]

I'm sure someone has created a module for handling that kind of a procedure.

What are you talking about, Python is interpreted and runs on all the major desktop platforms, and many embedded and big iron ones, too. Not to mention with Jython and IronPython it runs everywhere Java and .NET runs, too.

Yes, it being an interpreted language and not a language close to assembler was what I meant. It's like javascript or php, ok for its purpose, but not something you write an OS from the bottom up in.

Yeah. You know what I'd like to see is a C-like language with a Python-like syntax.
