Languages I have coded in
Language	Proficiency
8086 Assembly	Dabbled once
C	Decent
Fermat	This language is utterly bonkers
Fortran	Decent
FreeBASIC	Intermediate/advanced
GW-BASIC	Goto spaghettimonster
Haskell	Bleh
IDL	Like python, but bad and expensive
JavaScript	Beginner
Mathematica	No thanks. Never again.
PARI/GP	Beginner/intermediate
Perl	Wrote one tiny program, now I can't read it
POV-Ray	Beginner
Python	Intermediate
TCL	I hope I never see it again
Tiny BASIC	Not so bad

• Advocate of FreeBASIC, which I consider to be a tragically underrated language
• I prefer compact, elegant code. I try to avoid needless verbosity.
• I'd rather work on useful programs than curiosities; Hunt The Wumpus is a notable exception.
• I've recently become interested in Tiny BASIC, which forces imaginative solutions due to its very limited capabilities.
• Of all the solutions I have contributed, I am proudest of this one.
• I've also recently developed a liking for Fermat, which is powerful for certain applications, has an unusual syntax, and hardly anyone has ever heard of it.
