Do you program in any other language except for ruby?

[Elliott Cable]

You and I are now friends.

I am glad. Let’s have dinner!

Pick you up at 8?

Pick you up at 8?

Sure. I'm currently in Japan. Hope that's not too far for you to =20
drive.

Oh, I use `#teleport`.

And what are they?

Professionally, C, Java, and PHP. And PHP (and to a lesser extent
Java) is a pain compared to Ruby. Not having closures and higher-order
functions after understanding and getting used to the abstraction they
offer is like programming with one arm tied behind your back. In this
respect even Perl is better, and that's still an occasional language,
mostly for maintenance.

Other languages I use, mostly as a hobby:

- OCaml -- it's a neat language too, but I haven't tried using it in
non-hobby code yet
- Arc -- one of these days this might be the future, but it's much too youn=
g
- Limbo -- Inferno, despite the name, is a cool OS
- Erlang -- might be a language that will eventually become one of our
company's core languages in due time: it's got a lot of wonderful
things going for it

The main language we use here is "old skool" ASP in JScript with the
occasional forray into VB (eugh).

And after that an equal amount of Ruby and Javascript.

I've also dipped into C#, Python, PHP (in my Uni days) and a tiny bit of
Perl

 

[Eleanor McHugh]

Not sure if it counts but I port a lot of code from other languages (C/
C++/Java) to Ruby for research purposes. I also dabble in Unicon (I
was an Icon hacker for years and it was the first language I tried OO
in).

Other languages I use, mostly as a hobby:

- OCaml -- it's a neat language too, but I haven't tried using it in
non-hobby code yet
- Arc -- one of these days this might be the future, but it's much
too young
- Limbo -- Inferno, despite the name, is a cool OS

I've been meaning to play with Limbo for years to find out how it
compares to Occam and just recently picked up the Phillip Stanley-
Marbell book on Amazon for 99p plus shipping, actual coding though is
on hold until September when I take my summer holiday. I also want to
find time to get into Factor as I played with Joy for a while and like
where these Forth-like languages are going.

- Erlang -- might be a language that will eventually become one of our
company's core languages in due time: it's got a lot of wonderful
things going for it

Love the platform but hate the language so I've been following Reia
development with interest.
