QUBAL
ForTran (Horrible, which is why I avoided BASIC)
SC/MP Assembler (Horrible)
Z80 Assembler (Horrible, because not a Macro Assembler)
Pascal
BASIC (one project on Sinclair Spectrum)
Forth (Test systems)
78HC11 Macro Assembler used to build a Forth-like system
Westinghouse Blockware
Occam
Modula-2 (Really good and able to do concurrency in the Language. Generic Functions, Opaque Modules). It is not a flavour of Pascal.
8051 Assembler (Horrible microcontroller)
Specifications in CHiLL.
Own designed dataflow programmming language entered as a schematic. "Parts List" became modules. "Net List" became task schedule list & I/O table for modules. Implement atomic modules in anything for target CPU. Run time uses an I/O table instead of stack for parameters and returns and a fast Round Robin scheduler. On Z80 use alt register bank for scheduler.
C++
C (MS DOS compiler with horrid bugs).
Lisp & Prolog (Both languages supposedly for AI and pointless)
Java (Some real projects)
VB6 (which used properly isn't much like BASIC) Good for RAD & Prototyping and connection to SQL Servers.
VB.Net -- A failure, a bad version of C#
C#, in really MS version of Java for .Net
8086 Assembler. Stupid CPU, an 8080 on steroids without sane addressing.
Perl (Terrible)
Python (Terrible)
Oberon
PIC assembler
JAL (for PIC micro). Far better than C or BASIC or Assembler for PIC
