You dislike C++ so much you named it twice!!! :w00t:

fixed. I really do hate that rubbish language, so it doesn't deserve two slots.

Tom, what is that last programming language you listed; did you say: Brainf--k?

The hello world app for C++ on Windows always cracks me up.

Right you are, C++ implements object inheritance, that is the chainsaw that you can use to cut your own head off that I mentioned earlier.

Yes, see the Wikipedia article about it. I somehow managed to miss BÃ¶hm's Pâ€²â€², which is the language it was based on, probably because Pâ€²â€² was publicised in 1964, a couple of years before I got interested in computing as opposed to the maths it's based on.

edit: Actually, I didn't use that language for real work, just for showing youngsters that it was actually possible to have a Turing-complete programming language which was in some respects even more horrible than C++ or even VBS while still having pretty minimal syntax,.

Basic
a tiny bit Redabas (east German version of dBase)
DOS batch files (wrote batch based GUI to launch my favorit tools and games)
Delphi
Cobol
VBA (Access); used Access as GUI for a Cobol backed tool
T-SQL
PL-SQL (Oracle)
much more T-SQL
a bit Bash, PowerShell, C#
almost forgot: once I wrote scripts for the inofficial addon Wake of God for Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - the ERM-"language" was something that of some sort assembler than a real high end programming language
