Which Programming Languages Do You Speak?

[Terra_Inc]

Hello and welcome to the 2nd Season of MSFC's Regular Poll!

Some of us are not only modders or modelers, but also programmers. Knowing your languages can be pretty useful even in modding: The elusive few in the community familiar with LUA can use MMM, for example. ODFs and h-files are essentially C++ code. The FO framework is written in delphi. Which of the many programming languages do you 'speak'?

I'm pretty sure we missed one - there are so many! If your preferred language is not on the list, then tell us!

Alright, see you in two weeks, when the time comes for the next poll. Until then, have fun.

[Adm_Z]

I speak Java, pBASIC(parallax Basic used for robotics) RobotC(a type of C also used for robotics), C++ and possible others I have forgotten. The first three I use frequently though.

 

[Starfox1701]

ODF, some python script and I used to be fluent in DOS Basic but now I am real rusty

 

[CABAL]

I marked none since I'm not exactly fluent in anything other than ODFs and to a lesser extent the scripts in Morrowind. Also, I can generally understand what the code does if I see it, but I wouldn't be able write new code or identify the language.

All thanks to the – Military Learning labs

Java
C
C++ ISO/IEC 14882
C# ISO/IEC 23270
Objective-C
COBOL

forgot to cheek others

JScript

Objective-J : is nearly identical to the Objective-C syntax and it shares with JavaScript

@HK - Oh, cool! My Software Engineering professor worked for NASA - I was actually rather surprised when he told us how many legacy systems in COBOL still exist. I think the same applies to Ada, though that is more of an engineering-related language. (It's pretty cool - I've seen the excerpt from the original Ariane 5 code which was responsible for the disaster of 1996!)

How is Objective-C? In our faculty of Computer Science it's said to be up-and-coming, I think because the Apple guys use it a lot. Always wanted to look into it, but you know... theory lectures... Is it worth learning?

 

[Zelph]

Could use C++ in high school, I'm a tad rusty now. Also HTML, XHTML, SQL, PHP, and some Javascript. Very little on the last.

yep it Apple's Mac OS X and iOS: it is the primary language used for Apple

Interface example of The interface

An interface declaration takes the form like this :

@interface classname : superclassname {
    // instance variables
}
+ classMethod1;
+ (return_type)classMethod2;
+ (return_type)classMethod3:(param1_type)param1_varName;
 
- (return_type)instanceMethod1:(param1_type)param1_varName :(param2_type)param2_varName;
- (return_type)instanceMethod2WithParameter:(param1_type)param1_varName andOtherParameter:(param2_type)param2_varName;
@end

all and all its not to bad but it is best when you can sub
Objective-J code into it makes it a little more flexible

 

[Majestic]

Some very basic C++, I would love to learn more and some of the others as well like Lua and Python.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

I voted "none",

Though I can do ODF stuff (but find it boring and I am out of shape) and some LUA modding for Homeworld 2, I am not really "fluent" in any of those languages. I tried to learn C+ once but I did not have any real success with it.

Cheers to those who "speak" those computer languages. I speak EKG.

 

[Majestic]

I also do HTML and PHP languages, while not an expert in either I know enough to keep this site running and update it when needed.

 

[Styer_Crisis]

ahhhh, i marked 'none' just because of my lack of hardcoding knowledge, but i am a beyond proficent ODF and H-File editor regarding armada, although i never use that klowledge anymore, as i don't really mod much

P.S. i have the Emoticon Symbols memorized for here and the FO site, does that count?

 

[dinosaurJR]

Nope - none, nothing, nada.

I make pretty pictures...

 

[Terra_Inc]

Myself, I prefer Java and Python, and the occasional Haskell (a truly awesome language), but I've learned C/C++ and LUA (for MMM) as well. Oh, and I had to learn MIPS Assembly for a university lecture - can't use it, though, since most computers use Intel x86/x64 architecture instead of MIPS. Raaaaage! :x

 

[Atlantisbase]

I'm one of those brave C++ people (and by extension C). I also know Java and C#, but I always find I like C++ the best. I can also do a little HTML, CSS, XML, and XSD with the help of an IDE.

Really though, if you know one language you know half of what's out there, since they all have more or less the same constructs. It's the little syntax variations and APIs that you really have to learn. And that's why we invented Auto Complete.
