I know most of you use C , PERL , TCL & a few C++.
Where you able to write an interesting application in "the lesser known ?"

I write in Delphi and inline ASM.
At my late stage of life this works well for me.

For scripts I write to the win32 command shell or in powershell if I absolutely have to. No need for the others.

You mean like we spoke at home when I was a kid. We blended German and English in our sentences at home. Today when I call my 102 yo mom we still speak like that.

I left in the list languages/compilers which I used for writing (also toys) applications. I can add Java, Eiffel, Common Lisp, R, Pascal/Delphi. C/C++ and few others.

Mine preferred, up to date, Common Lisp.The recent version of 32 years ago improved many things respect the already good release of Common Lisp 1984


Language to learn before dying: Erlang/Elixir and probably also Smalltalk/Pharo and Glamorous Toolkti. But I prefer Lisp macro to OOP hiearchies and Smalltalk metaclasses.
