COBOL
1976–1987
On IBM 360's using punch cards, and (much later) HP 3000's.
Assembly
1978–1980
On IBM 360's, maintaining a set of programs that modified themselves as they ran. Drove me nuts.
BASIC
1982–2000
Various dialects, starting with IBM 5110, thru HP250, to Visual Basic.
APL
1987–1988
Just played around, trying to learn to think in 64 dimensions.
C
1988–1990
Interfaces to digitizers
Smalltalk
1995–1998
Developed a manufacturing shop floor scheduling program. Smalltalk was probably the only language it could have been done in at the time. Still my fave.
Javascript
2000–
Got deepest doing both client and server-side JS for JotSpot. Nice to use same language on both sides, but still an impedance mismatch.
Java
2001–2003
Working for a British business transaction software company.
C#
2003
One business transaction client app.
Python
2007–
Learned Python to learn Django to learn Pinax.
