Primarily C++ with some Perl and Bash scripting currently. But in the past
I've done C, multitudinous microcomputer Basics, various assemblers (Z80
[I've still got my Zaks book on it somewhere], M680x0, x86, MACRO-11 - I
think that's it), Fortran, Pascal, Forth, Java, both the Digital and
Sybase versions of SQL, REXX. I've got a couple of books on Python, but
haven't done anything with it yet.

I used to be a bit of a language junkie years ago, and had all sorts of
odd languages scattered around on floppies for my AtariST, but the only
one I can remember the name of now is Icon, which was based on SNOBOL
IIRC, although I don't remember much about it other than that. Oh, I think
I had a version of Prolog as well, but could never get it to run properly.
