Pascal

1996

Technically, my very first programming language. I had a college course as a Freshman, which was great fun.

1996–

Ahhh... "fond" memories of "Structured Programming 1" as a Freshman in college :)

TI-BASIC

1996–2000

A wonderful time-saving feature for all those forumlas that weren't built-in...

Java

1997–2006

I learned OO concepts and wrote my first OO programs in Java, though I haven't really done anything significant since 2006.

sed

1998–

Another one of those super-useful languages that I probably don't use nearly enough.

LISP

1998

Prolog

1998–2007

Ada

1998

Saw this in a programming languages class and we probably spent most of the time with Ada. I remember thinking it was OK.

C++

1998–

SNOBOL

1998

Saw it briefly in a programming languages class.

AWK

1998–

This is one of those great tools that I just don't use nearly enough.

VisualBasic

1999

All it took was one project. I knew I would never touch this crap again.

bash

1999–

This is my shell. There is still much to learn.

Javascript

1999–

I'm a web developer. I use it as needed for that purpose.

PHP

1999–2009

I used PHP in my first paid programming job (as a web developer).

PL/SQL

1999–

SQL (and therefore the PL addons) gets a bad rap sometimes. It can be quite an elegant language.

Ruby

2005–

Tried it out as Rails was gaining steam. Actually wrote a few small command-line file-processing utilities, instead. Revisited this (and Rails) right at the end of 2011.

Python

2005–

Originally wrote some small toy command-line networking utilities, just to get a feel for the language. Then, I started using python for Image processing in 2008 (with PIL and OpenCV) and then started building web apps with Django in 2009. It is now my language of choice.

AppleScript

2005–

Checked it out when I got my first mac. Not super impressed with the language, but it's quite powerful since it's so tightly integrated into the OS.

Tcl

2006–2007

Used this to do quite a bit of network simulation with ns-2.

ActionScript

2007–2008

TeX

2007–2010

Yep. Writing scientific papers with latex rocks.

Objective-C

2008–2010

Dug into this briefly in 2008, but put it aside for a year until I build a few toy iPhone apps in late 2010.

Linden Scripting Language

2009

Have used this some with a project built on OpenSim.

LOGO

2009

I suppose I'm a latecomer here, but I tried this for the first time not long ago and sat down with my young daughter and drew some interesting pictures... I need to go do this again!
