Currently I have a few 'mainstream ones' as I like to call them. Java - if I'm feeling crafty, as well as JSP, but if I want something portable and powerful - Excel and it's ASP. It's readily avaiable and it's front end is easy to implement. Well, at least for certain projects. Given the right implementation, Excel can do wonders.

I could never truly understand Java GUI programming however. Listeners? Window_in, Window_out? Stuff it.

I've dabbled in a few languages here and there. Yes, even Python, C and assembly, but for these, I never really got to the point of appreciating them. PHP and cgi dot the mind here and there, but I remember next to nothing about those.

VRML, if it could be classified as a border line programming language, is one of the funner things I played with. Nothing beats the feeling of having coded a 3D house complete with an active TV, interactive furniture and lighting effects. With lots of borrowed code of course - so the credit goes to the 3D modelers. It was very fun nonetheless, and I would have gone into game design if I was better at maths.

Fun fact: I thought the capitalisation of my name was an allusion to my coding background until I noticed that everyone else was doing it. But I count from zero, if that counts. :P Tempted to put "I count from zero" in my sig so that coders like us can recognise each other. It'll be like a secret handshake~!

So since you're here, how about you? What does your code say?

My code says I missed a semicolon.

At least yours tells you what you missed. :P

A habit of mine is to not increment my do whiles. Crash, make changes, run, infinite loop. Repeat.

I'm not a Unix person (I just code), but I do love recursion with GNU's Not Unix. It's the most novel acronym I've come across.

Anyhoo, I'm curious. Any COBOLs or FORTRANs here? I heard they're a rare bunch these days. But I wonder, what was the programming world like before COBOL? Was it punched cards?

We don't speak of the olden days. But in all seriousness, it was painful prior to some of the more user-friendly languages. It makes me question how high of a level programming languages can actually become.

Well in theory, I think a person can code a game in PowerPoint using slide transitions and animations alone... Not that I have done it, no, not at all... :p

Hey kid.
