So...

  • Languages that I know pretty well and I can be productive in time zero (maybe modulo a refreshment for those I do not use since long time)
    • BASIC
    • FORTRAN
    • PASCAL
    • C
    • C++
    • PostScript (yes, it is Turing complete...)
    • Tcl/Tk
    • LISP
    • PERL
    • PHP
    • Ruby
    • Ada
    • Unix shell (sh-like)
    • Matlab
    • few assemblies (Z80, 386, ...)
  • Languages I have some experience with, but not a big deal
    • JavaScript
  • Languages I played with them for a bit or that I read about them. I guess I will be able to read a program, but I do not feel like I could be operative since time zero.
    • FORTH
    • Prolog
    • Simula
    • COBOL

Oh, yes, also I programmed the TI-57 (if you are not too old, you do not what I am talking about... :-))

I could throw in also LaTeX since I guess it is Turing-complete, although LaTeX programming (not just writing shorthand macros) is quite an experience...
