Programming Languages Survey

[8Nairb]

I have a survey for you programmers out there and I would like some answers.
Please help me out, some nice responses would be much appreciated.

What programming languages have you used already?

Which of the programming languages that you've mentioned do you usually use and how do you use it / what purpose?

AS3,C++,PHP

I use AS3 more then anything. I use it because I can create browser games that are very easy to get people to view rather then having to download anything. While currently I only make browser games with AS3 I plan on trying to make mobile games soon using adobe air.
It's also probably worth mentioning I make all of my games with Flixel.

Thanks Venks for answering kindly.
Your response has been helpful for my survey project !

[Diki]

Sure, I'll bite.

Most frequently I write Python, ActionScript 3 or PHP.
Here's a small breakdown of what I do with each:

Python
Anything web development related that is being created for my own personal projects.
I also typically use Python for any Project Euler challenges.

ActionScript 3
Pretty self-explanatory: I use it for creating Flash applications.
I only ever make games with Flash though.

PHP
I'm employed as a web-developer for a large company in Canada, and this is the language we use for our web development; nothing fancy. Outside of work I literally never touch PHP.
It's a shitty language, and I hate writing it, but I get paid to do it.

[Scyllinice]

Languages I've gotten paid to build software in:

Ruby, C++, Visual Basic.NET, C#, PHP, Javascript

Languages I've done for fun:

Erlang, Python, D, Delphi, Java, Assembly, OCaml, Haskell

[8Nairb]

Yes, more responses, more faster my survey project will get done faster !
Thanks guys for your answers, this survey is still ongoing for I need to have at least 15 programmers to answer it.

Sure.

What programming languages have you used already?

x86 ASM, Turbo ASM, C, OOC, C++, Python, Perl, PHP, Java, AS2, AS3, JS, a bit of C#, GLSL (OpenGL) and Direct3D.

Which of the programming languages that you've mentioned do you usually use and how do you use it / what purpose?

x86 ASM - as a part time demoscener, this assembly language is highly important for coders like us who want to save space for their 64kb, 4kb & below. I spend my spare time to master my skills at this language as much as possible.

C++ - currently working for a large tech company that it adores C++ so much that I have to keep my aggressive opinion to myself toward the hatred at C++. Another reason why I use C++ is because of OpenGL.

OOC - stands for Object Oriented C. It's a direct replacement for object oriented language C++. OOC means for small project and quick implements in budgeted development. I use OOC for personal Linux development. I also have personal opinions and conflicts between OOC and C++, especially during the debugging moment...

Python - what I call it, a Swiss Army knife in programming world. I am a penetrating tester so I use Python (also Perl or PHP) mostly for writing quick attack scripts for exploitation.

PHP - a worthy language for web development due to its speed but shitty computing security. Surprisingly most vulnerable sites I ever encountered are written in PHP (Perl and Python-made scripts are much secure). I believe this is not a coincident...

Not to start a derail, but why was that surprising to you?
Remember that the PHP developers are the people who do incredibly stupid things like this.

U really like pointing out php flaws. I don't mind tho.

OT:
I only use PHP/SQL/Javascript/jQuery for serious business. I've used some others while in school, like qbasic, pascal and maybe some more I don't recall as they were shitty and useless.

[8Nairb]

Thats alot of programming languages, all of your responses are perfect material for my survey!!
Thanks guys for the answers~

Oh, and I might have used BlitzBasic at some point.

[NinoGrounds]

Oh, I als used AS2 while in my flash days.

[NorskeDrittsekk]

In the old days: BASIC, x86 ASM, some Pascal and Fortran.

Currently: C, C++, Java, JavaScript, SQL (Postgre, Oracle & MySQL), some PHP, Perl & Python.

I don't think these count, but I list them anyway: HTML, HLSL, GLSL, some OpenCL & ActionScript 3.

HTML 4.01 Transitional
HTML 5
CSS
Some javascript

PHP
MySQL

AS2
AS3

Some C++ (eh... I'm borderline on even counting it as one I "know")
Some bash
Some python

QBASIC (all versions)
Dark Basic
Free Basic (QB light compiler - cross between QB 1.1 and FB)

I'm not sure if you can count most of those, but that's everything i've written that requires some sort of code.

Which of the programming languages that you've mentioned do you usually use and how do you use it / what purpose?

AS3 - Games (web or download)
PHP - Web development and "online" games
MySQL - Permanent secure storage on a server
Bash - I run linux as a server (CentOS) and as one of my OSes on my personal computer (Ubuntu)
HTML 4.01 - Web development

[TapSkill]

In order of most frequently used to rarely used:

AS3
I use FlashDevelop to develop games. I also know my way around the Flash IDE, any version from Flash 5 to Flash CS5. I use AS3 in animation projects from time to time to help control the menu, add bitmap effects and masking effects, and just do cool things with the loading screen.

PHP + JavaScript
I make websites. Here's one of them: http://www.tapskill.com/art

Java
I'm in college for web development, but the only language the school seems to want us to use is Java. I have made a lot of school-oriented applications with Java and NetBeans.

Python
XBMC scripting mostly. I also mess with Django from time to time, and I ported my AS2 Tetris clone to Python 2.4. Later, I thought about rewriting my Tetris clone in AS3, but I was too lazy to do it. lol

C++
I toy around with C and C++ from time to time to learn new things. I never use these languages for anything practical, but I think it would be cool to make an Ogre3D game someday.

C#
I am learning C# alongside Java. I was planning on using Unity for game development, so I thought knowing a lil C# could help. Not sure if I want to use Unity, though. Not really sold on the idea yet.

Quite a few! Here are the ones I use currently:

Objective-C, C#, C++

Languages that I have used in the past:

Actionscript 2, Visual basic, Delphi, C, Java

Which of the programming languages that you've mentioned do you usually use and how do you use it / what purpose?

Well, right now im working on a project in c#. Me and a team are making an iPad game using the Unity engine, though the past year I have been using Objective C for a similar purpose (With Box2D and Cocos2D). C++ for me is generally used for any university-related projects.

I find c# the easiest to use, but I would say im most confident in Ob-C, but I have a feeling that c# is going to overtake that soon. I pretty much just make games, thats all I use languages for :)

[MikeyS9607]

I'm knowledgeable in PHP, AS2, MySQL, HTML and CSS (if the last 2 count).
I'm able to use a bit of AS3, JavaScript (A lot better at it than AS3)
