"There are hundreds of different computer languages. Most experienced programmers know a dozen or so." source


WTF!?  A dozen?  Know?  What does know mean?  I don't KNOW English.
Do you know what "erinaceous" means?
(of, preterning to or resembling a hedgehog)
I don't KNOW twelve machine languages.
Ok fine, how many languages have I done anything with, anything at all?

Would probably say I have experience in these.


Language
Notes


Ruby
Personal fav, fanboi, years and years, goto language, fluent


Coffeescript
For web stuff, hopefully in a web framework like Angular or Ember


Javascript
I prefer CoffeeScript


Java
Can sort of do it but slowly.  Studied for Java Cert, gave it up at around Java 1.4


Go
My current learner language


Scala
Did a Scalatra toy project and some Scala Koans, old learner language, not super interested since Go


Node.js
Very little experience but have had my eye on this for a while


Python
Eh, I've done a work project with it.  I don't hate it, it's flamewar bait.  I picked Ruby for web stuff.  Python might be in trouble with Python 3.0 and Ruby will probably have the same problem at Ruby 3.0.  I use Python for libs or some forced reason.  There's hardly any reason to know both Ruby and Python except for the strengths like Rails and Numpy.


Obj-C
Stanford iOS course, wrote some spike apps


C
Arduino projects


C++
Game development spikes, OpenGL pain.


Perl
A long time ago, this was my Ruby.


PHP
I've written some wordpress plugins and once wrote my own blog "engine" but it was all terrible.


Bash
I'm not bad at bash but it's just scripting, I don't go crazy in Bash/ZSH


Processing
Hey if it counts - source, I've done at least 50 projects in Processing.  You can see some here.  I would count this as Java with a graphics lib though.


Not fluent in these but I've done something.


Language
Notes


ASM
Wrote some stupid robots in one of those online battle games


Elixir
The sits-on-the-Erlang-VM-language


Visual Basic
College class a long time ago, early career work, bleh/ick


ActionScript
Flash, bleh


PL/SQL
When forced to.  Smells like Enterprise.


AppleScript
For something on my mac once


Lua
Game scripting
