What are you programming in?

Catwell

What are you programming in these days? For me it's Assembly and some C/C++. But it seems that it's becoming time to move past all the old tried and true languages for the new. Now you have to know C#.net, Java, and whatever syntax you need for whatever new processor you have to work with. For example, you can't be a straight HTML programmer anymore, you need to know Flash, SQL scripting, CSS, Shockwave, HTML5, and whatever the flavour of the month is, to a high degree of proficiency. It's a lot to know. So, how do you choose what to learn? A few people I knew several years ago were learning Python and Fortran from some reason or other, boasting it's where Engineers have to migrate. Neither of them used those languages. Now they are studying Java and Objective C. To avoid this cycle of learn then learn another, what should we all program in?

    I am mostly an iPhone developer so obj-c with xcode.  But a lot of my clients want their apps to be dynamic so I need to know how to make a backend to the app so I learned php.  I do mostly web design, back end, and Obj-C.  Going with who you said about how you need to know flash for web end stuff.  Actually it is starting to be phased out.  A lot of interactive stuff is now being built with javascript by using jquery.  It is a framework built using javascript.  It is a fantastic library which allows you to do form validation, animation, interactivity, even form submission with lot's less code.
