Computer Languages you've used (and loved)
Looking back over the years, there are many languages I've used and enjoyed.

Trying to list them in chronological order:

High School
APL. Originally using dialup to an IBM mainframe and then we moved to using IP Sharp.
Also some exposure to APL on an IBM 5100 portable computer.
HP basic on an HP 9830A desktop computer

University
PL/1 through a range of subsets; initially SP/k then PL/C using punched cards on an IBM/360 of some variety.
Pascal on LSI-11s using RT-11
More APL on a Burroughs 6700
COBOL
Algol
Macro-11
Lisp
Snobol
Prolog
SPSS
Fortran (various dialects)
C

Working Life
SAS
370 Assembler
Python
Perl
Awk
JCL
