I'm curious for those who are in the professional field (or not, I suppose).. what language(s) do you program in other then .NET?
 
I still tinker with VB6 once in awhile. I use VBScript/ASP for any professional webdesign that I may do.

Other than that, C++ (unprofessionally).

That's interesting.. your company hasn't migrated to ASP.NET? Or do they simply have no need to?
 
Well, I don't work for a company (I'm only 15 yet, still have school to worry about), but any consulting work I do for my dad (or in any case even) I do in ASP.
 
Most of my programming's done in C#, for CS projects we use Java, and when I get done with the interpreter and IL generator I'll be using yet another custom language...

I've currently written one compiler and am working on another, why I don't know, but that's okay. The first was very similar to C# but with some interesting changes (such as no ;'s or {}'s) and of course some quirks as well. My current project is a functional language similar to lisp, but purely OO as well. If that works out well I may end up programming in that.
 
Heh, I have been kindly informed that I contradicted myself a little bit earlier. :p

First I said "VBScript for professional work" and then I said I don't work for a company, still have school to worry about, etc, kinda confusing I suppose... What I meant was, I don't have any kind of full time job or "desk job". I simply do projects with my dad (the "real" consultant) in my free time.

:p

Lucky. :cool:
 
VB.NET (professional)
Java (J2EE) before that. (professional)
C++ before that. (professional)
VB4,5,6 before that. (professional)
FORTRAN before that. (professional)
Pascal before that. (professional)
Modula-2 before that. (projects @university)
Assembler once (@university, @home)
Basic before that (@home).
 
I have a couple of questions for all those who still program in C++ professionaly (ie; you actually get paid for it)...

When building window apps, do you use MFC or 'ol fasion win32? Or is that part left to a RAD language (.NET, VB6, Java, whatever) and you basically just use C/C++ for low level stuff?
 
Oh well, C++ was 2 years ago, shortly before the wake of .NET.


We explicitly decided to *disallow* MFC. C++ was just for the core and complex objects (dlls), frontend was VB.
 
Actually here is a list of ALL the languages I have used at one time or the other

professional
VB.NET + ASP.NET
COBOL
VB 6

Others at Collage
C++
Java (Beta and v1.0)
Pascal
Fortran
C
COBOL on VAX, IBM Mini and PC
Some DB2 and Assembler

and just to top that off
Basic on the CBM64 when I was a mere pup!! :)
