Meh.. poor students.

I do not count HTML as a programming language, because it just straight up isn't.

A tad bit too many I'd say...

HTML
PHP
CSS
JavaScript
C
C#
C++
Cocoa
Perl
VB
BASIC
F#
Java
JavaServerProtocol
Lua
Objective-C
Visual C#
VBScripts
X10
UNITY
UnrealScript
Ruby
PEARL
Python
JavaFX Script
JScript

I may not know most of these languages completely but I've had time to study and do simple functions in all of them at least. My strongest languages would be HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, C#, C++, F#, Java, Lua, UNITY, UnrealScript, Ruby, Perl, Cocoa And Python.

Not in that order ofcourse

20+, but not an expert in any of them. I'm very dependent on authoritative documentation for every project.

HTML is a markup language - not a programming language, also personally I wouldnt consider batch as programming lang.. Its more of scripting with the use of an interpreter. Whilst most programming languages use a compiler and an interpreter, batch only uses an interpreter (yeah so does sql but sql is much more.. uhm.. more prominent language).

There are probably some more that I've forgotten. At this point picking up new languages doesn't seem to take too long. I'm interested in getting into Python but never seem to find the time.

My strongest/most frequently used languages would probably be:
C# (and by extension I guess I'm fairly strong with VB.NET, though I don't like using it)
C/C++
PHP + JavaScript (I rate them together because I use them at the same time)
ColdFusion (forced to use it pretty much every day at work)

(Double post sorries) SQL is a 4th Generation Programming Language which is mostly used for specifying what needs to be done instead of how it is going to be done.

I know these language :

►Ruby (was doing some RPG Maker vx and learned it)
►JavaScripts
►Java (A little, same as javascripts but with difference.)

I'm new in code, my next learning in language will be C, C++, C#.

And I will learn HTML wich is not a code language I think but just a markup.

Programming Languages:
C - 6/10 expertise
Brainfuck - 10/10 expertise (joke)
VB - pointless, easy as pie

Scripting Languages:
Lua - Lua King 9/10 expert

Nice, good for you.

Haha what's the matter about C-sharp ?

Never really have liked it for some reason.

I found this a while ago, its generally on C++ vs C#:

Pro C#:

garbage collection
array bounds checking
huge .NET-Framework library
types have a defined size (e.g. a long is 64Bit)
strings are encoded in UTF/16
autoboxing - every type can be treated as if it inherits from object
supports constructor-chaining (one constructor can call another constructor from the same class)
when a virtual method is called in a constructor, the method in the most derived class is used
static constructors (run before the first instance of the class is created)
exceptions have access to a stack trace
advanced runtime type information and reflection
supports variadic functions nicely
built-in support for threads
no need for header files and #includes
no fall-through on switch-statements
arithmetic operations can be checked for overflow if required
objects must have a definite value before being used
attributes can be attached to classes and retrieved at runtime
no forward declarations required, classes can be arranged at will
access to class members / functions is done only by the dot (no more -> or :
conditional functions (e.g. for debugging)
structs and classes are actually different (structs are value types, have no default constructor in general cannot be derived from)
supports properties
readonly members are const, but can be changed in the constructor
finally block for exceptions
arrays are objects
support for anonymous functions
supports the base keyword for calling the overridden base class

Pro C++

better performance
portability
multiple inheritance
deterministic destruction (allows RAII)
any type can be thrown as exception (only classes derived from System.Exception in C#)
ability to enforce const-correctness
implicit interfaces on generics (in C#, generics must be constrained with an interface)
offers pointers (C# only offers pointers in unsafe mode)
support for macros
support for global variables, functions, constants
allows default arguments on function parameters
STL
supports bitfields

Where C# is just different from C++

value types and reference types exist (struct is value-type, class is reference-type)
value types live on the stack, reference types on the heap
references can point to null (must not be valid)
code is packaged in assemblies in C#
no automatic conversion from int to bool in C#
main-function is called Main in C#
no semicolon after a class declaration in C#
everything derives from object or can be treated as if

Anyone claiming to know a "percentage" of a language usually has no idea what they're talking about; those that claim they know "100%" of a language are just plain full of shit.

Knowing c/c++ "100%" is very possible because you need to include libraries for functions, and these libraries aren't part of clean c/c++.

Programming languages I know:
- c/c++ (good)
- php (very good)
- java (average)

I also know javascript, vba, lua, sql, but I don't consider them as full-fledged programming languages

Possible? Most definitely. Probably? Most definitely not.

"VB - pointless, easy as pie" yet LUA is your language of choice? ok.

Lua isn't a programming language, more scripting.

I had to learn it for some Garry's Mod work on coderhire, where you can make money from selling scripts. I made a quite decent amount of cash.

VB has its good sides and bad, but I would never stick around with it.
