I can write in various languages, high and low level; though since high lvl languages have always served my needs I tend be more comfortable with interpreted/scripting languages. I started writing all the basics 20+ yrs ago - Batch/CMD/PS then started C++/Assembly. I occasionally write small cli or simple math bins in those, but everything I've' needed done in the last 10+ years was easily done in AutoHotkey/Python in Windows and Shell (Bash)/Python in Linux. I can also write HTML, CSS, PHP, and very familiar with vanilla Javascript as I have used them for many years to build personal sites and UserStyle/forum themes. I've read lots of introduction books to many other languages and familiar enough with their syntax. I am more than familiar with many different programming constructs and I read any programming/computer science book I can get my hands on. I don't have a professional stack, but I guess that's what you'd call mine.
