Fortran (not sure what version; VAX/VMS environment from 1986 to 2005)
C (also, VAX/VMS or Alpha/VMS environment)
VB 6 through VB.NET 2010
SQLServer 2000 through 2008 (if you consider taht a language)
I have used C#, but have not written code in it.

I see you worked a lot on DEC machines, I really miss em I thought they were awesome!
|
|

|
|
I miss the simplicity as well... cereal manufacturing and data collection and then the same with paper manufacturing.
|
|
|
|
|
I did some client/server solutions, Power plants; nuclear and garbage, water treatment plants, auto industry,...yes it was a simpler time!

If pressed I could probably still write some PDP-8 machine code...

True and if I had the money I would have one, but it would be just for fun because I don't have a project or reason to keep one.

Still, I have three small ones off ebay. I try not to spend more than a 100 USD. Hobbyist licenses for OpenVMS and many layered products (several languages) are free.
Or an emulator.

Thanks when I get caught up with what I'm doing Robbie[^] I may get a wild hair and get one if they're that cheap.

How does one "use" C# without writing code in C#?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.

And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

maybe he "used" C# in the biblical sense...

Copy an article from CodeProject that meets a need. I review the code, implement it, but don't have to change it. Use... not write.
Or, write my code in VB.NET and call the classes written in C#.

A read-only use of C#. Ok.

I have used APL - as a code spec - without writing any.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Assembler - Many variations on many machines including IBM and DEC
C
C++
C#
Basic - many variations on many machines
Not a very impressive list but stayed pretty much with what I knew and what the companies I worked for used.

Also in chronological order as far as I remember...
GWBASIC
DBASEIII
DBASEIV
C
C++
VB6
VBA (macros)
Pascal (Delphi 5)
Assembler
IEC 61131-3 (Beckhoff TWinCAT PLC in Structured Text (something similar to C used to control machines)).
DIN 66025 (Beckhoff TWinCAT NCi and CNC).
RAPID (ABB robot programming language).
KRL (KUKA robot programming language).
Other device dependent languages.
VisualC++
Java
JavaScript
Edited, did not read about the professionally bit...

Wow! You actually did GWBASIC professionally?

It seems I have to re-learn to read...
Already updated...
GWBASIC was only for learning lots of years ago...

In roughly chronological order:
VAX BASIC (I tried to use VAX Pascal instead, but the boss insisted)
Turbo Pascal (but only for one small app, hardly worth mentioning really)
DCL
VAX C / DECC
PL/SQL
C#
T-SQL
VB.net (sorry)
I also had classes in COBOL, Fortran, and VAX Macro (assembly) in college and am glad I never had to use them for real.
Now I'm reduced to using SSIS (which is not a language at all) and only get to use C# for a few small supporting console apps.

It's Turing-complete*. I wrote a few (maybe as many as four?) menuing systems with it over the years, but mostly nothing extraordinary.
* Hmmm... maybe a project for some evening -- write a Turing Machine in DCL. I've written them in several languages including T-SQL.
Edit: Muhahahahaaaaaa... it is alive! At least a very simple Turing Machine written in DCL; reads the state table from a file and takes the input from a parameter, writes the output to SYS$OUTPUT. I'll work on it more tonight.

I think my favorite "stupid DCL trick" was using defined symbols as arrays through concatenation of the 'index' with the 'array' name.
