What programming languages do you guys actually program in?
I ask because I'd like to get passed all of this C and LISP bullshit and find out which languages are actually *good* compared to the OO crap out there.
I bet the members of /prog/ are just a bunch of ENTERPRISE Java coders who wish they could program in better languages, so my questions are probably in vain...
Right now I'm coding in Haskell. But before Haskell, for the past four months or so it has been Scheme. GUI programs, socket programs, servers, web pages, etc. I just figured I'd try Haskell so that is what I am doing. I've written GUI stuff and am going to work on some web page stuff in Haskell.
Before Scheme it was Common Lisp, but I don't really like Common Lisp, especially in comparison to Scheme. I think the implementations and the language itself are better. Plus Scheme as a language is worth knowing because you can implement a conforming interpreter or compiler for it very easily, anywhere.
Before Common Lisp it was C. Somewhere between Common Lisp and Scheme I learned C++, but I haven't used C++ for more than a couple projects. Don't really like it at all. I'm pretty experienced in C and Scheme.
I generally use PHP for web dev. if only because it has lots of libraries and is available on most servers. I've used Scheme for web dev on a few projects (via MzScheme's web server). Used MySQL on PHP, which is okay. And I've used SQLite with PHP and with Scheme. At the moment I use Lighttpd with FastCGI and CGI-PHP or CGI-whatever. It's really lightweight which is good because I'm using a not-so-top-of-the-range laptop as my main computer.
