Programming background of community

[proteneer]

Just out of personal curiosity - what is the community's programming background like? (relevent experiences include: C/C++/CUDA/JAVA/Python)

Can you add more choices or decrease the granularity, up to 30+?

I programed extensively 5+ years at one time, but now its been 20-25 years since I've done any. So does that count as zero or 5+?

PDP-8 Assembler (My first love), Focal (for PDP-8's), Basic, Fortran, Pascal, C and a very little C++, a touch of Cobol, Lisp, Forth, early X86 Assembler, HP-41C micocode.

I don't, but a few of my teammates might have some, i've posted a link on our team board

May I be so bold as to ask why the question is being asked???

Is that a source release I see shimmering over the horizon, embedded in lush green foliage and flowers of all kinds, bunnies and fluffy things frolicking in the undergrowth?

[GreyWhiskers]

Started programming in fall of 1963 - Junior year at Univ of Maryland - in Fortran and MAD (Michigan Algorithm Decoder) on the IBM 7090. Computer lab upgraded to 7094 in my senior year.

[EDIT]
Since then, have programmed in LISP, SNOBOL, Burroughs Algol, IBM PL/I (used to be my favorite in the '60s), JOVIAL, COBOL, TRANQUIL & Assembler for the Illiac-IV at University of Illinois, Pascal, HP Basic for the HP9830, Applesoft Basic, Apple ][ Assembler, Burroughs 263 Assembler, CDC 160A assembler, UNIX PWB SED Scripts, small amount of C, C# .NET.

Just call me a dinosaur.

What what what, assembly doesn't count anymore?

It's a Scandinavian thing.

15 years of C/C++/Java/Python developing large distributed systems. No Windozes experience though.

None of the languages I know are on your list. Assembler (S/360,6502) BASIC, ForTran, Pascal, Modula2, SmallTalk, COBOL, RPG II, SQL, PL/SQL

Most of my programming the last 25 years has been in scripts for sh, bash, and non-unix jcl's. The compiled language programming mostly predates that except for the occasional fix of a C program. But, I have spent most of those years finding bugs in programs to either workaround or give back to the programmers for fixing.

[Xavier Zepherious]

Basic,fortran,pascal,modula I&II,Smalltalk, machine code & Assembler(vax11,z80,6502,68xx,680xx,x86),ML,GPSS/H,Ada,Nomad, C/C++ both in console(Unix & MS) and Windows( Unix & Microsoft)
some java

Network Communications (Sockets),


don't quite know if I got them all

BSc. Comp Sc.

started programming when bill gates started (I was a kid then...writing machine code on a z80...not basic...too slow)

[derrickmcc]

Java
Some C
Oracle PL/SQL
Informix 4GL & SQL
PowerBuilder
and many others
