What are all the programming languages you know?

Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy.
This forum is not for asking programming related questions.

Wow, 'lot to read for lest then a day existing post.

Well, HTML and CSS are without a doubt(at least in my opinion.) markup languages rather then programming languages.

SQL is a computer language. Regex is not so much a language but used in languages to manipulate strings, if it were considered a langauges it wouldn't be to useful by it's self.

Also I did forget to mention SQL but I don't know it fully. I've also used GML, although I'm not so proud of that. :lol:

I definitely would like to give Java some digging.

How do most of you feel about Java and how it should rank among the other popular languages?

They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Java VM now runs fairly well (fast) on a lot of platforms, but unless something has changed since I last looked, Java servers needed to be restarted (or dumped) to load new code bases. JSP is different however since it is similar to PHP, Perl and ASP insofar as it too is a scripting language.

Programming Languages:
Javascript
Python
Ruby
PHP (duh!)
Visual BASIC
C#
TI BASIC (BASIC for graphing calculators by Texas Instruments. Very simple, yet powerful)
SQL (but not all the fancy-shmancy looping, etc, just plain-old query-the-db sql)

Markup Languages:
HTML
XML
CSS

Real Languages:
English (primarily)
Spanish (un poco)
Binary 8) (Ok, not a language, but it should be :D)

Besides that list, I can learn just about any computer language if it is easily readable (not assembly languages) just by reading a few well-written programs that correctly demonstrate various aspects of that language. Is it just me, or is this an ability most programmers have? Don't answer! I want to feel special! :D
