What language do you speak (Code)

[3g usr]

Was wondering what language the people in this forum code in.

I use Borland Delphi, I own (legally ): Turbo Pascal, Delphi 1,2,3,4,5, Turbo Delphi 2006 and about to purchase Borland Delphi 2007 Pro.

Don't know if this makes me a n3rd but I've been doing it since I was 11 years old

 

[Moederloos]

lol - also been at it since 11 years old.

Turbo Pascal was my first PC language, before that BASIC on a speccy as well as Assembler.

Also "conversant" in VB3-6, VB.NET, C#, PHP, SQL (yeah that counts as a language!).

Can bluff my way through C++ code, but dont ask me to write any!

/me joins the n3rd area

 

[Boodles]

Well, i've been coding in english since i was born. I'm pretty good at it now.

 

[3g usr]

lol

 

[Angstrom]

C/C++
Java
Pascal
LPC
VB (all versions)
C#
ASP (not familiar with ASP.NET yet)
javascript
SQL, PL/SQL (Oracle)

Edit - Does HTML count?

 

[Moederloos]

hey - i forgot ASP.

/me updates Resume

Once up on a time I could talk Java and Delphi, now i can barely talk HTML

lol - reminds me of a joke

Dad comes home with a work colleague and see his son doing homework.
He turns to his friend and says "My son is a genius - he gets A's in Geography, Science, French and Algebra! Son, " he says " say hello to Mr Jones in Algebra!"

What JStrike said.

Plus a smattering of C++. Enough to swear in anyway.

Is VB still considered a language?

 

[Moederloos]

"Is VB a language" - I know you joke, but why?

VB and C# have the same CLR - they do the same thing. Many countries still use it - SA seems to be unique in this dislike. Is it because it started "way back when" and now the "managers" (who are the geeks of 10 years ago) cling on to the belief that VB is inferior?

I am not trying to start an argument, and I can use both equally well (well duh - they are the same thing really!), but what is the basis for this?
Its almost an "All Blacks vs Springbok" thing!

From http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000036.html


"So let me make one thing perfectly clear. Any of you who feel that the syntax:

if() { }

is somehow morally superior to:

If .. Then
End If

are fools."

True... the end result is the same. But as long as I can remember its been like this, me included. For no reason. Shame on me!!

SELECT flame FROM vb_developer WHERE quote = 'Is VB a language'

OK, I'm showing my biases here

 

[Moederloos]

It's really a "carry over" from VB3-6 days as oppossed to C++.

VB.NET and C#.NET are the same (OK - the purists will point out differences - but lets not get into that).

Delphi 4. Not so much coding recently ... but I ought to upgrade.

Perl and PHP. Gotta love the Perl regex syntax.

Some C/C++. VBA, by necessity.

In the past: REXX, APL, COBOL ... a bit of Lisp ... and I forget what others.

Give Turbo Delphi 2006 a go, the explorer version is free to download from Codegear, the only restriction is that u cant use Indy 9/10 (which isnt incuded in delphi4) and u cant use 3rd party components... but heck, i can write an entire program with explorer version alone
