    I only used it in my studies but I discovered a big love for it, for it made me understand the underlying mechanics of any other language...
    For example, once u understand assembly then u perfectly understand stack overflow in any language. same as what happens when u call a method. isnt that cool! :grin:

    I use C/C++ and R mostly in my work. Used Matlab a long time ago. Also teaching myself Python since it's the new hot stuff out there.

    Definitely wish I knew more languages though!

    Yessss C++ K&R style is the best. Python 3 is good for scripting but C++ is way better in terms of efficiency and writability. I don't like Java in comparison though.
    Amyone who says they love Assembly is lying, it's awful haha

    Its not a lie, its the truth!
    There is something beautiful being able to see the core of all languages, making u feel u really DO understand How Things Work, even though it might be hella difficult and maybe not as useful in the real world as other languages.
    Maybe its the scientist in me that makes me like it, because in science what intrigues me is understanding How Things Work :grin:

    Uhm, no. Surely I don't prefer working in assembly, but that doesn't mean I don't love it. I have good memories of working with assembly and it really makes you think about what happens on a low level. =] In fact, I sometimes I have thoughts like "at least in assembly I could have more control over the internal data storage". :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I used to work in Perl and some Python/R as a research scientist.

    I've worked on so many languages over the years that I've lost count. My overall favorite is Ruby. My new job has me doing Python which has been growing on me.

    I would not work using Assembly, but that does not mean I don't love it. I started programming with C++ and Assembly (8 and 16 bit) and I enjoyed it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'll be honest, I've only been truly learning to program for like a month now, since I'm only a freshman in a major I'd never really experimented with before (besides a couple of Codeacademy lessons). But even though I'm a super beginner and only know a little bit of Python, I love it so far! I tried learning JavaScript a while back, but I find Python to be easier to learn/remember.

    I tinker around with Python. I need to start delving into more complicated ones, but I'm kind of spoiled now.

    I bet if you start using JQuery you'll like it a lot better.
    $("img").src
    is a lot easier than
    document.getElementsByTagName("img")[0].src;

    I bet there is a library that do that in python as well, if anything, u specifcy the JQuery as a string to some parsing method to generate the longer version, so saying python 'looks' long isn't fair!
    Especially since u can do stuff in python im not sure how u can do in other languages like calling a method from its string name :grin:
