BASIC (a dozen different flavors), Assembly (6502, 65816, 68000, 68030, 80386, SPARC, PowerPC, Alpha), LISP/Scheme, FORTRAN, Pascal, C, C++ (from 2e to C++17), Object Pascal, Objective-C, C#, Perl, Python, Perl, F#, Lua, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Prolog. Peripherally programming languages (depending on one's definition) would include SQL, WPF/XAML, Eve 0.8, Eve 2.0, HTML & CSS.

I'm only including languages that I've worked with a lot for a year or longer.

I'm not including language exposure for fun. Like with Logo, Squeak, Boo!, Groovy, CoffeeScript, Swift, Elm, Rust, GLSL, and many many more. I'm not including command scripting languages or shell scripting languages, that be another few dozen.

Next year I plan on learning Clojure. It'll be interesting to see what you get if you add functional programming to LISP.

On my future list also has: Haskell, Scala, Kotlin, (more) Rust, (more) Swift, and Go.
