LOGO

1986–

My really first programming language. It was pure magic. I made a program who drew the map of Belgium.

MSX Basic

1987–1990

The language present on my very first owned computer (a MSX-Sony). We programed an helicopter game with my brother in this language (unfortunately, the laser beans would erase the back scene....)

Turbo Pascal

1996–1999

My first programming language at the university. I still like it.

Fortran

1997

I used it for a small course project.

Java

1998–

A necessary evil.

COBOL

1998

I was the poor guy in charge of doing the project in this language for a university course... and I did like it, but what did I know at the time....

PL/SQL

1999–

It is only recently that I really used the PL part.

Objective Caml

1999–2000

We were in charge of writing a compiler using this language for a course.

TeX

2000–2008

I used LaTex in fact. It is the standard for writing research papers.

Prolog

2000

I used it at the university for a course. Fun, but I would never use it to do something real.

C++

2001–

I taught it for 7 years, even if we used it more as C with classes. The workhorse of my current company.

x86 Assembly

2001–

I taught it for 7 years. It allowed me to understand how this recursion thing really works.

VisualBasic

2002–2008

I had to take over a grade managing application at the university. Not my funniest job.

MATLAB

2002–2008

I taught it for 6 years. Not bad for what it is used.

bash

2004–2006

I used it to script benchmarks for a research project. A real pain, I should have used Python !

2005–

I kind of like it

Python

2006–

My language of choice.

Javascript

2007–

The language is fun, but the implementations in the browsers made it a pain to use... until I discovered JQuery. It was a breeze to learn JavaScript after using ActionScript for some months (which is basically the same language).

ActionScript

2008

Fun, especially when working with good graphic artists providing all the photoshop/illustrator work... I wrote a Dutch learning course for 12 years old with this.
