- #basic (various flavours)
- #modula2
- #csh
- #sh
- #perl
- #clang
- #java
- #cpp
- #tcltk
- #lisp
- #fortran
- #javascript
- #python
Also played around with #functional languages and #prolog , but not professionally.
Of these, my favourite is #tcltk because https://colin-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/why-im-tcl-ish.html .

I’m sorry, Prof. Wirth, but it’s a terrible name.

I contributed Modula-2 for the Sutherland-Hodgman Task:
Sutherland-Hodgman polygon clipping - Rosetta Code https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sutherland-Hodgman_polygon_clipping#Modula-2
Modula-2 libraries are a mess. I tried using PIM-4 but ended up using ISO, which is the least messy. It’s just a messed up language, despite the promise it had.

#C #rexx #prolog #asm #ada #basic (several BASIC dialects, some compiled even) #forth #Cpp #pascal #modula2 #lisp #smalltalk #fortran #cobol #logo #perl #python

I find it actually quite approachable and not difficult. It is very structured, which might be why some people find it difficult to start as you cannot wildly type away but have to do it in the structured #Ada way. I believe it helps you organise your problem in your head before you start typing.
