What language to you commonly program in?

[linux-tech]

Hopefully I'm postin this in the right forum. If not, chicken has the right to behead me :P
Which language do you use when you're programming stuff? What are you most familliar with and why?

Personally, I use php/MySQL, mainly because of the scripting capabilities, and the close resemblance to c. I've been using C for game programming for years and doing the programming thing since, well, my first pc was a TRS-80 if that tells ya anything.

I use loads. Whatever gets the job done best. But the most common these days is PHP.

I can't wait for php5. Actually, I'm thinking about using ioncube for modernbill (since it's the only thing I've got that requires Zend) and just going for it.
heh

btw I wouldn't call html a "programming" language (similarly xml). Was that just added to make the non-programmers feel better? ;)

shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I wouldn't either, but I've been dealing with programming for years. html isn't really a programming language, but some (few) use strictly html.

You realize you can work with MySQL in languages other than PHP. ;)

[Toolz]

...and you can work in PHP with databases other than MySQL. ;)

I would, mainly because there isn't much else to call it, and it is (more or less) executed code. It may not be what you think of when people say "coding" but I think it belongs here.

English :D

btw I wouldn't call html a "programming" language... Well... the "ML" bit stands for "Markup Language", which puts it in a different group to "Programming" languages.

"Markup" is a lot different to "Programming"...

Yeah, I know. I tend to group the two together for some reason, probably because it's the easiest way (I've found) to integrate sql into web design.

[battra]

Been using PHP for almost 5 years. It's godsend to me after learning Perl :D Soooooo much easier

[noloc]

yeah, I'd call html and xml markup languages too, and if we're really **** about this stuff I have to ask why php is together with mysql? :)

That being said, I haven't done asp in ages, asp3 was dreadfull no idea how the whole .net shebang is these days.
But personally I like PHP, particular since I've discovered PEAR and started doing everything, more or less, the OOP way. And sometimes some javascript to spruce things up on the client side..

For general server admin scripting type stuff I use Perl and Python mostly, or maybe just some sh if I'm really lazy ;)

[The Dude]

I voted "HTML" as thats the only one listed i have done anything with.. (Little things)

I mostly like programming IN BASIC,i started on Apple COmputers in the 80s and i really got interested... Then i got my Commodore64 (which i love) and i have written many programs ALL IN BASIC!!

And we cant forget the famous GWBASIC which i also have had some fun with :)

[krupux]

I'm a mainly web developer, so I code mostly in PHP/MySQL. Used to dabble in Flash, .NET, Python as well.

[Whirly]

PHP mostly.

[alemcherry]

Most users here would be using PHP/MySQL as it is the most popular language for web scripting. But PHP is low end and never pays well.
