I started in Fortran, no number just Fortran so I go back a few years. C, then C++ and Java. UNIX and its scripting variants followed by SQL.
Oh, and how can I forget COBOL. Enough already.
Now there are more languages than a sheet of paper in 7pt font can list.
Forget excess stuff in a language there are simply too many languages to all do the same things. Input, output while calling or executing some function(s) based on some logic. Are any significantly faster? Do any ‘really’ do it better? Does COBOL still have more lines written than anything else and if it does what does that say?
How many languages does it take to draw and populate a window?
