How many programming languages do you know of

The complete saying is "Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ". Generally, people omit the second part for some strange reason.
Judging by the number of similar responses, I guess I'm firmly in the latter camp. :(

Option 7 is not a real programming language..... Don't take offense!!! :-D You know many I'd like to learn.

How many programming languages do you know? Beginning with C/AL programming language
I only read newbie introductory dummy books.
More than I care to remember ...

lol.. The answer to everything... MyNumLanguages=(SELECT MAX(language_count) FROM Users)+1 Yay, I win.

I know one which is C++. I am using it since 1994 and I am still discovering new potentialities. I was recruited as a C#/C++ (this order) developer, but I haven't written C# about at least one year. Additionally I wrote code in several basics, assembler on several plattforms, Bash, Delphi, Fortran, I was a Java-developer, JavaScript, a Lisp-like-language, Pascal, Prolog, Python, Perl, PHP, SQL. I had a look at Haskell, Lisp, Ruby, Matlab, Labview and other languages which were proclaimed as the future. Today I prefer C++ for almost everything. I rewrite a big php website with C++. That's not because of C++ is the best thinkable language - it's just because I don't know something else which is at least half that good.

Probably to assure that the audience does not associate you with the less desired population but more numerous portion of the latter half. :) My dad had an interesting variant that went “Great minds think alike, getting them to agree on anything is the difficult part.”
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Just enough to get the work done.
Watched code never compiles.

Ummm... that's an operating system (the best ever). Perhaps you mean Macro 11? The assembly language for VAX? (I had a semester of it in college.)
It has been almost 25 years, but I recall VMS (back before it had a GUI) as a batch language, similar to MS-DOS and CP/M.

I'm still a newbie at programming but these are the languages I have written or at least attempted to learn: 1. C# (currently my day-to-day language) 2. VB 3. Java (been awhile, a bit rusty but I can still read it and comprehend it fine) 4. Javascript 5. x86 Assembly 6. Ruby (currently learning now, just picked up the pick ax book) 7. F# (just started learning) I've dabbled in C and C++ but haven't really written any meaningful programs in them.

Just post 42 then checked everyone elses answers :doh: or great minds think a like.

Too many.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Out of all of those responses to your initial question there is not one actual answer. ha ha I was actually curious to see how many languages people actually knew and then perhaps a side discussion of what actually constitutes a language.

I only read newbie introductory dummy books.
I've programmed in: MS Assembly DOS Batch Fortran GW-Basic, QuickBasic, PowerBasic, VB6, VBScript, ASP (classic), VB.NET C, C++, C# Java JavaScript PHP SQL (ANSI, T-SQL, PL/SQL) TCL (the language that powered some older credit card terminals by VeriFone) Direct machine code - in school I wrote two small programs for the PDP-11, one of which I entered one instruction at a time by flipping switches, the other on punched tape

Well, there's DCL (Digital Command Language) for writing scripts.

Ah, that does sound familiar. Thanks.

Too many, such that English is no longer my native language, the syntax of computer languages now interfere.

Yes, but for PERL. There is an official excuse for PERL.

Also APL, known unofficially as the first write-only language. It is the only language I've used where I can write one line of code and immediately not understand what I just wrote.
