How many programming languages do you know?

It's pretty self-explanatory. A couple of rules:

1. For all of you walking encyclopedias who say HTML is not a programming language, it's somewhat similar, so I'll allow it. I know it's a markup language.

2. However, things like GameMaker do not count.

I'll start us off:
Java
Lua
PHP (learning)
HTML (markup language)
Python
SQL
AppleScript (I don't own a Mac, but I used to love hacking the school computers whenever I was bored.)
LOLCode

I don't see how this is a game.

Well if HTML counts.. then technically:

Extended Color BASIC (I had a coco TRS-80 when I was a kid, aka trash 80).
QuickBASIC <– My first computer that didn't hook up to the television had this! :D/>
VB6, VB.NET <– I stay away from these, have since I had my own first *nix box like 7 years ago.
C and a little C++ <– Something scares me about C++ sometimes. I'll figure it out someday. Live long C!
Perl <– main language for about 3 or 4 years now.
Java <– not that much, I absolutely hate and critisize every line of it, its bad when you want to write comments to critisize your own comments.
Brainfuck <– WAT?
65C02 assembly (and that also includes some 2A03 differences, and 65el02 now that Eloraam's RPC is out there)
HTML <– and that would include CSS as well, if that really counts, but it's not a markup language
XML <– another markup language. I generally stay away from XML itself these days since many parsers are slow compared to markup alternatives
SQL <– dialects include Postgres and MySQL specifically
x86 assembly <– not to an entirety, but I've worked with it on occasion.
PHP <– getting rusty I'll bet, used to be a web developer 4 or 5 years ago.
Lua <– extremely easy to understand, and I'm no expert, but I think it looks uglier than poor mans Perl once you get 100 lines into your code XD
Lisp <– Most beautiful language ever if done right.
Clojure <– working at it.
Lolcode <– I had to. I was so impressed with its stupidity I worked on my own interpreter that allowed extensions before saying screw that.
Bash shell scripting <– I usually use Perl to replace this, but its good to know.
MS-DOS compatible batch scripting. <– making AUTOEXEC an awesome® script was always fun back in the day
FORTH <– Not my favorite, definately not my best, but stack oriented programming is at least neat

I can't really think of any more. I bought a book on Python and closed it because it looked disgusting, and I still haven't come up with a good enough reason for myself why :D/>

Edit: These are in no particular order. If you want to know my opinion about these as a whole, sometimes I feel that if I didn't try to learn half of those I would be much better at the languages I like most.

Ruby, my first language :D/>
C and C++
Java
x86 and 6502 (thanks to eloraam :P/>) assembly
C#
Lua (thanks to CC XD)

And a little of
Python
Perl
PHP

I don't consider this programming languages (cause they are not :P/>), but I also know
HTML
SQL

Probably some more that I don't remember right now.
And basically, any language that I need to use. It's very easy to learn a new language once you understand the basic concepts.

I know these:
Java - horrible,
C and C++,
Lua,
A bit of Python,
HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript,
Brainfuck,
Processor and the Arduino version of it,
ActionScript or whatever - it's been years since I used it.

This is what I know (or at least remember):
  • Java
  • Java for Android (it is very different from Java)
  • C and C++
  • C# (which for the most part is really just copy/paste of Java)
  • Objective-C (by far my favourite!)
  • Cocoa and CocoaTouch
  • HTML (and variants such as XHTML, SHTML, HTML5 etc), CSS, JavaScript *shudders at knowing programming languages retarded little brothers (web stuff)*
  • A little PHP
  • XML
  • SQL (and most derivatives)
  • Assembly for the PIC16 micro-controller family
  • AppleScript
  • Lua (Thanks to CC)
  • FORTH (Thanks to RP2)
I think thats pretty much it… if I missed any, they clearly aren't important to me :P/>

Its really easy to pick up new languages once you understand programming concepts. really the main difference is syntax.
using multiple languages with very different syntax at once becomes a little harder. atm at uni I'm using Python, Java for Android, HTML and CSS and PHP. as well as coding here in Lua, so many times my mind switches syntax mid statement and the compiler starts yelling at me :P/>

BIT! You don't know Lua!?!?!??!?!?! D: Or is it not important to you!?

What I can remember:
  • Java
  • Objective-C
  • Python
  • A bit of C++
  • C
  • PHP
  • HTML/CSS (and variants)
  • A bit of Javascript
  • Lua (obviously)
  • SQL

Well thats odd, I did put that and FORTH in the list, but they clearly aren't there….. edited them back in…

Don't feel bad, I forgot about FORTH and some others myself and added them in since my first edit.

The languages I know:
  • PHP: The first language I've used, not really a fan anymore though.
  • (And HTML and CSS of course)
  • JavaScript (or more specifically Node.js): Got into this more recently and I'm liking it so far.
  • Lua: I got into it because of ComputerCraft, and I'd say I know it kinda well by now.
  • Vala: I don't know it too well, but I can do some stuff in it, and I'm thinking of getting more into it.

  • Java
  • Lua
  • HTML
  • AutoIt (language?)
  • PHP
  • CSS (a little)
  • Applescript (school take-home computers)
  • Javascript (I knew a lot more a long time ago, probably forgot some)

Java, PHP, Lua, and AutoIt are my most used now. I often get mixed between the two when coding.

lua
java
C –weird low level stuff like memory heaps
javascript – im losing my knowledge because i never use it
python – very little because i never got around to it
html
BASIC – coco trs-80 from my uncles garage, ugliest language ive ever used with its goto and gosub spagetti code
php
DCPU-16 assembly

and i want to learn C# and obj-c

and im 14 and started coding a year ago

HTML; CSS;

I know Java/C++ but I am not saying it because I am still not very confident with it.

PS: i'm twelve :3

That's pretty normal for that age. Especially since those are simple programming languages. PS: I started programming when I was 8 or 9 :P/>.

  • C++ (Still learning)
  • PHP
  • Lua
  • C#
  • Java (Still learning)
  • Javascript

That's it. I don't really learn many programming languages, only the one's I need.

I'm 13 started programming when I was 8 or 9 :P/>. (As said before)

Im a hobby programmer, and I think I started about a year ago with Lua. This list is also in wich order I learned that. But I cant say I know everything from one programming language. As of now, Im still lua.

Lua
–HTML !not a programming language!
–CSS !not a programming language!
Java
PHP
Batch (only using to not make me go to the cmd prompt)

My main learning language is Java. And to a side note, I dont believe you can know a whole programming language without the use of google. You can program with it, but you dont know all the methods and stuff. You learn these while you are looking it up, and the next time you dont have to look it up, because you remembered.

good luck learning the all the methods of java (and remembering) :P/>
