What are your programming likes and dislikes ?
In junior high and high school I learned BASIC, back when spaghetti code was
the norm and GOTO and GOSUB statements took line numbers as arguments. I
haven't touched BASIC since. Next I learned Pascal and dBase. Since then
I've dabbled with a lot of languages - Perl, PHP, Ruby, C, Python, LISP,
Rust, and probably several others I'm forgetting. With the help of Hercules
and MVS 3.8J I did start to learn the basics of assembler, but have
forgotten most of it. At work I did a little COBOL, Gener/OL, and
EasyTrieve programming back in the mainframe days. These days since we've
migrated to a descendent of the AS/400, the little programming I've done at
work has been in CL and free-format RPG. I'm still searching for a
programming language I truly love. The languages I keep turning to and have
written the most code in are Perl and Clipper.
