Re: Programming languages

My first programming was probably about 25 years ago - punch card / paper tape input to an ICL mainframe (can't remember what language) and Basic on a PET computer. My first home computer was a Dragon 32 (Basic, again) and I did some on a friends ZX Spectrum (saw one in a shop on Saturday - £30!)

At Uni I did,
Pascal
Algol 68
Fortran
Assembler (x86)
LISP & Birge (logic programming)
Prime 'advanced' Basic
and a couple of other 'academic' languages - nothing useful for commercial work.

At work, although not officially a programmer, I've programmed in -
Pascal
Cobol
C - internals of HP-UX and MPE OS's (never got into C++)
BRW & Transact (anyone recognise those?)
Allbase/4GL
SQL
Windows and Unix shell scripting, VBScript

Still like to dabble when I get the chance.
