The Programming Languages I Know
In the beginning there was DEC BASIC Plus and PASCAL.
From that we learned FORTRAN-77, COBOL, Assembler, APL, PL-1, RPG and JCL from the land of IBM.
DOS Batch files, Unix Shells, sed and awk abound through the land.
Esoterica ensues with Forth and Lisp.
Lo, the introduction to the 6502 microprocessor and Assembler with all its variations by processor 6800, 68000, 8008, 8080 Z-80, 8086, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486 and higher. Hitachi, ARM and PIC round out the bunch.
Then came the light of C, which beget C++.
Windows programming started and tools abounded Delphi, Visual Basic, Visual C/C++ and the Sun's own JAVA.
Databases are everywhere D-BASE, Datatrive, SQL in all its glories and incantations( Informix, Oracle, SQL Server, XDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL )
The web grows and with it HTML, JavaScript, XML, CSS, PHP, perl and ASP.
Thus is my tale of languages totaling 42 at first glance. Maybe more or less depending on the variations you consider.
