I do most of my programming in Delphi (as anyone who knows me could tell you - and now I'm employed as a Delphi coder) though the full list of languages I know at least basics in is:
- Delphi
- C/C++
- SML (Standard Meta-Language / MOSML)
- Java (only at university - not recently or by choice ;)
- Assembler (on the 68K, no less, and on x86-32)
- Basic/Visual Basic (although it's been nearly 10 years since I last touched them - so I've forgotten most of it now!)
- Awk/Sed/etc ... they are kind of programming.
- PHP
So why do I write all these programs? Why not! I like messing about with good games (and so do quite a few other people) so why shouldn't I share my genius programs. (I'm also modest, as you might have noticed ^_^ ).
