- javascript sometimes
- qbasic in a pinch

Primarily C# and starting to focus more on C++. A little Lua, Python and PHP too, though PHP was entirely for University and Lua was a failed attempt at a scripting system, which I swapped out in favour of Python. I've done a /little/ Scala, but as of right now, I don't have the IntelliJ IDE installed, so I haven't done any in probably a year. Oh, and a little 65816 ASM, most of which I've probably already forgotten.

Here, have my GitHub.

I mostly code in C/C++ and C#. Did Java too but I dislike it (don't get me started).

Then there's PHP and the typical web shit (JS, etc).

Oh and I should I mention ARM assembly?

KLayout v3.1

I don't really do much with programming.

Other than what I'm currently studying for school (C/C++ at a basic level), I occasionally do fun stuff with PHP.

I do this stuff mostly

(mostly Go and C; shell scripts, awk scripts; used to also do C++. nothing hip like python (but I did write this) or ruby or javascript or that kind of stuff. also knowledge of 68000 and Z80 assembly plus some THUMB (not normal ARM) and some experience with a few others. also reverse-engineering of the above.)

Lately it's been mostly x86 assembly, primarily limited to 486 and earlier, because that's where CPU detection is the most interesting. (Finding good errata documentation for those is a pain...)

Also C, C++, Java, 6502 assembly, 68000 assembly, PHP, Python, various shell scripts, a handful of assembly for other CPUs not already mentioned, and probably some I've forgotten.

And QBASIC, because that's pretty cool I guess.

Here's the only interesting thing on my GitHub.

i think that's about it, barring some one-time things. I don't even have a GitHub, yay

In terms of actual programming, Python, C#, C/C++, Java.

Also work with some basic web stuff, HTML/PHP/Javascript, and an unfortunately forced scripting language for a certain game, LSL.

I haven't had a lot of time to practice any of it though in the last few months. Lots of work, little leisure time.

I have used the following languages in the past:

QBasic/QB64 (http://www.qb64.net/)

C/C++/C#

Java

Some Motorola 68k, MIPS R4300i ASM

Some lua

I'm shying away from QBASIC these days due to needing to get more experience with real, industry-standard programing languages. C I am currently learning for making Genesis homebrew with the SGDK (https://code.google.com/p/sgdk/), use C++ for university work and eventually for N64 LibDragon homebrew, and use C# for Unity3D development. Java I only use for uni work (I loathe Eclipse). I've used some M68k asm and MIPS R4300i in the past for Genesis/N64 rom hacking, and lua for modding Sonic Robo Blast 2.

PHP, JS, CSS, Node.JS, conference speaking. I've also used Java, C++, Python, VB, ASP Classic, Perl, SQL and C# in the past, most of them only at university. I'm also using a bunch of ops tools like Ansible and Grunt at the moment.

I do this for a living now, and it can be traced all the way back to making an Acmlmboard post layout fourteen years ago. Pretty crazy.

I make a bunch of stuff.

I specialize in PHP+HTML+JavaScript. I also know Java somewhat, but I'm rusty at it and find it very frustrating to work with in comparison to PHP. As a result of my job, I'm also familiar with XSLT and ZPL.

It's fun to see what other people program in here. It gives you a perspective on what other languages are out there and what languages people like dealing with. And for anybody who has actually coded something up in assembly here, I commend you. I have coded in MIPS once but only once (and terribly at that). I just don't have the patience to code like that.

It's also cool to see that people share their coding projects on GitHub. Like I said, most of my coding projects are basically stuff tailored to rip materials from games for TCRF. Not sure that would interest a ton of people. Plussss I can be a messy coder. I code stuff right then and there and don't comment stuff when I should and then kick myself later when I try to figure out what a piece of code was suppose to do.

Oh how can I not want to know what you dislike about Java? I don't mind. I'd assume you don't like it because it's slower than C being that stuff executes in a VM but I am curious on what you think. It would be nice for me to look at more languages but it's easier said than done. I'm just so freaking used to Java that it's second nature for me to code in it. If I choose another language then I have to fumble around more to get the syntax right and such which gets in the way of the actual coding.

A ton of people usually do because it is a heavy IDE. I use eclipse a lot so I've gotten used to it but I understand what you mean if that's the case. For me in particular, I like the debugger in it. It is extremely useful to be able to step through complex code line by line and have a complete list of what is stored in what variables during debugging. If I could nab an IDE that wasn't as clunky but had those same debugging features then I would consider the switch.

Before I used eclipse, I used to use DrJava. It's a lot lighter but it doesn't appear to have the same level of debugging features.

I primarily use C# nowadays, I took a Java class in high school (which I spent mostly learning VB.NET instead), I know Motorola 68000 ASM from hacking Megadrive Sonic games (mainly Sonic 2), a small amount of x86 ASM from hacking the Windows Sonic games (mainly Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2), I learned C/C++ from using IDA Pro's decompiler on SADX PC and writing the SA2 Mod Loader and SADX Mod Loader, I learned some PHP to make my website (there's some JS there but I'm not that good at it), I also used TI-BASIC back in high school.

Some of my programs are available on my GitHub account, but everything that relates to Sonic games I put on Sonic Retro's account (most of the stuff that isn't a disassembly is mine).

I generally don't comment my code either, I guess all the reverse engineering I've done allows me to figure out what code is doing by just looking at it.

I've been trying to get into coding for about a year now. Only problem is I don't know where to start. 

Been looking at LUA, but I can't really find any good video tutorials on that.

If you're having trouble where you're getting bored of doing basic examples and the initial learning process, then I recommend that you think of a motivating project that will drive you to learn whatever programming is necessary to at least get started.

Once you're motivated to do something, then it's required that you start asking questions and start learning more which will make the initial grind less boring because you have a goal.

Although, eventually you'll probably end up like me where I had to return to the lower level fundamentals because I completely skipped all of that initially, but then it was a requirement when I was attempting to do things like reverse engineering.

You'll enjoy this famous snippet of code from Quake III Arena:

	long i;

	float x2, y;

	const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

 

	x2 = number * 0.5F;

	y  = number;

	i  = * ( long * ) &y;                       // evil floating point bit level hacking

	i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the fuck?

	y  = * ( float * ) &i;

	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration

//      y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed

 

	return y;

Well, I'm not familiar with the inner workings of floating-point numbers, so I dunno what's going on there.

PHP reverse-engineering can be 'fun' too.

If trying to read Acmlmboard 1.92's code can be called that. Or trying to make sense out of the huge, bloated, overly complex codebases of 'enterprisey' forum softwares.
