Languages
Languages I speak (at least a little):
- Dutch
- Natively.
- English
- Of course.
- Esperanto
- Lingvo de l' kor'.
- Afrikaans
- Just included here because it's a fun language. Not that I actually speak it or anything, but I can usually understand it (better than some dutch dialects in fact).
- German
- They tought me this at school, and since it's a little like dutch I can sometimes even understand it.
- French
- Thanks to school and vacations to france, I also know some basic french.
- Latin
- In retrospect, quite useful to have learned. Not that I'll actually speak it or anything.
- Russian
- Привет, как дела? Not much more than that, but I'm learning ;)
An interesting language which I'll never learn: korean (easiest script, and I've got over 200GB of StarCraft movies which I'd like to understand ;).
Bearly speakable, but I still know them:
- BASICs
- MSX-, IBM-, Q-, Power-, and TI-Basic, in order of learning/usage.
- Pascal
- Used to do a lot of programming in Borland Pascal 7 for DOS. Great fun (and I didn't really have anything better). Guess it was the logical step betweep BASIC and C. Haven't touched it in years.
- Z80
- Assembly (specifically for the TI-86 calculator). Most interesting/fun language ever!
- Perl
- Current language of choice for most things (at least sites and scripts)
- PHP
- Do a lot of work in PHP (it's my job actually). Overall, I think I just hate it :P
Also experience with (My|pg)SQL, javascript, some very basic|limited i386-assembler and C(++).
