Language survey

 [1/8] from: greggirwin::mindspring::com at: 10-Jun-2003 18:30


Hi All, This is informal, but it could be interesting to see the results (which I will gladly tabulate and post). If this has already been done, I couldn't find the results, hence this message. Lurkers please contribute as well! There are two scripts below, one for Core, and one for View. All they will send to me are the version of REBOL you're using and the data you enter. --Gregg ; Core Version address: head reverse [moc--gnirpsdnim--niwriggerg] reply: func [data] [ send address rejoin [ "Language survey response" newline system/version newline data ] print "Thanks!" ] reply ask "What languages do you use? " ; View Version address: head reverse [moc--gnirpsdnim--niwriggerg] reply: func [data] [ send address rejoin [ "Language survey response" newline system/version newline data ] h/text: "Thanks!" show h ] default: {REBOL Java VB Perl Python Ruby Tcl PHP C C# C++ Pascal Delphi Assembly Smalltalk Squeak Scheme Lisp Logo BASIC COBOL Forth Oberon OCaml} view layout [ h: h3 "Just a little informal survey to see what languages we use" text "Enter the names of the languages you use below, and press Send." data: area font-name font-fixed default across button "Send" [reply data/text] button "Quit" [quit] ]

Seems most are using the latest REBOLs. What would the 2.5.0.3.1 be? It needed View to answer, didn't it? Not a surprise that C tops the language list (after REBOL) I guess. Got time to modify it to ask what OSs we use? Carl.

Hi Gregg, seems my email didn't get through, then. There should have been an entry for squeak. And I an always using the latest and greatest on Linux. Kind regards, Ingo Gregg Irwin wrote: <..>

Some of the entries I combined (e.g. all assembly languages), but I don't have your response here so it's not just that I don't like Squeak (I have it here as well). Sorry about that. -- Gregg

Can I know what the original question was? I wasn't around at that time... I use a few languages at work(I have learnd more than 20 so far , that's what happens when you program since the 80's... I've used 7 variations of the BASIC language I can recall, and on different platform too... remember the trs-80 from tandy ;-) blitz basic on the amiga was really cool... so was language E... on which steel was born... anyhow... back to things rebol -max
