I code things for fun. I made simple games, mad libs, chat bots, and other things. Does anyone else code, and what language do you use?

Coding's been my bread and butter for forty years

I use the programming language C to do numerical calculations (e.g., using Fast Fourier Transforms) for my scientific research projects.

I know some PHP and Java. I have started to learn C++ and after being at a big demoparty over the weekend, I am more motivated to learn C++ and OpenGL, especially because I want to make stuff with Shadertoy and Bonzomatic.

I code many things, right now I'm studying R. One thing I enjoy more than coding is scripting, as I'm a hobbyist hacker.

R is an amazing project. What do you use it for? What are you favorite or most useful packages?

I use python to clean data and then R to do quick visualizations based on it. Sometimes I pass these into Illustrator to create print or web ready data graphics.

Been coding since childhood. Started in the early 80s on commodore vic 20 that had 3K of memory.

Basically it was like this:

10 print "Hello world"
20 goto 10

"Out of memory error" :P

I've been toying with Ruby. I don't care for programming, but feel I should have a working understanding of it so I dip in once in awhile when I'm in the mood or something catches my eye.

My career has been mostly as a COBOL programmer although I have been paid for some C programs and Unix scripts. I've used HTML and JavaScript for things like the Crackerbarrel puzzle, round robin tables and withholding calculations.

I do some coding. I mostly do C, basic ,python ,assembler and lots of Verilog(FPGA stuff). I am mostly a hardware guy rather then a software guy. I am still yet to figure out JavaScript, for some reason, that programming language just doesn't click with me.
