Interesting 
In my case it was more like...
Phase 1: C++, Borland C++ Builder, VC++ 6,
Phase 2: Step 5, Protool, iFIX (SCADA), Step 7, Win CC Flex, Kawasaki Robots, Reis Robotics, Kuka, Allen Bradley...
Phase 3: BuR, TIA Portal, C#, Back to C++ ...
Biggest was Phase 2 up to now. Interactions with PC in several ways, all kind of peripherical systems... Most of the times my sps was the master and did / coordinated everything.

I have worked with many robots too but I never actually programmed one. I have always done the communication part or interfaces and often the coordination. Fun stuff. For a while I worked at a company that made robots - Intelledex.

Using them could be interesting and big fun too, but one must be very careful, once they "go", they can be pretty dangerous, so if the programmer is not experienced, better take cover when testing starts.
Trying to optimize the paths to win some milliseconds (or even seconds) per cycle was really challenging in some of the projects I worked.
When time is not that important, then it might very comfortable and one can concentrate in doing parametrizable programs to reduce complexity and improve maintenace comfort.

 Never seen them. I didn't even knew that name.

With the year's Visual Studio release train coming to an end with the new VS 2019 v16.9 Preview 2, I took a look at Microsoft's Developer Community site to see what top feature requests have been filed to perhaps peek at what's in store for next year. I thought they were all still stuck in vi?
Or maybe that's the problem - they can't get out, so they need VS to edit their files?

CLion is pretty good.
That said, Visual Studio is amazing and has a kick ass debugger.

vi. It's remarkable what people put up with.

I believe it was 'salvation.' But in the case of vi, suffering leads to pleas of 'Save Me!' (At least for those who aren't masochists.)

That's why I switched to vim years ago

I must keep it in mind if I start using Linux. I had to look it up, and it looks good. Originally developed on an Amiga, no less! I had one and still remember it fondly.

Visual Studio will never run on Linux unless they port WPF over to Linux, which will never happen (at least, not from Microsoft).
Look at WINE. VS used to run in Wine, until they moved to WPF (2010), and then it went to hell in a handbasket. WPF uses DirectX, and that doesn't live on Linux.

Since Windows Forms was open sourced in late 2018, and ported to .NET Core, both the team and our external contributors have been busy fixing old bugs and adding new features. Because WPF is so 2006

It doesn't matter. writing a WinForms or WPF app with .Net core just causes the binary footprint to be bigger, and does not add any real benefit (because you can't run those apps on Linux).
I didn't bust my ass for the last 30 years learning how to nuance a GUI, only to be told I have to start writing command line apps again.

It's nice to see WinForms getting some feature love again, though.

The founding members of the Modern Computing Alliance--Google, Box, Citrix, Dell, Imprivata, Okta, RingCentral, Slack, VMWare and Zoom--are gunning for more integration, better handling of workloads and the new normal for work.

For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world—Silicon Valley—bears its name. But silicon's reign may not last forever. Are we finally getting chocolate transistors?
Of course, then we'll have a global shortage as everyone eats their computing power

Eating it or putting it into their breasts - the effect is about the same.
