Current: C/C++ (incl. CLI), C#, PL/SQL
Mostly forgotten: a few BASICs, PASCAL, Java, that SAP stuff, ActionScript, ASM and two or three obscure and proprietary scripting languages
Hobbyist: LUA (WoW-AddOn *g*), objective C (urghs... looks like vampire C++ ninjas from outer space... trashy proprietary crap if you ask me)

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Recently I am mesmerized by a scripting library called JQuery. It's basically a javascript library. It's really neat stuff!
But everytime you start a new language you will see there are many similarities. Concepts like Object Orientated, Imperative, Functional, Structured, etc make them like each other.Originally Posted by ronin

A number of languages touched on in university: ALGOL, PL/1, PL/C, Lisp, SNOBOL, COBOL - but I can not claim to be proficient in those.
A number of custom written interpreters:
RIC - Reduced Incremental Compiler. A concept interpreter syntax with on-the-fly extensible functions.
This framework lead to two practical implementations:
RUBIC - A proof-of-concept specialized interpreter for implementing book solutions to Rubik's Cube.
Features nested loop controls, color matching conditionals, multiple-move transpose shortcut generator, history back-out stack, move redundancy eliminator.
FILTER - a tool to mass-edit HTML files with rudimentary search & replace text/tag functions.
Interpreter engine & scripts were embedded in a client's auto-site builder. This generated HTML pages with standardized logo graphics before the days of style sheets. HTML table population from mainframe database. Automatic index page generator from traversing directories of plain text files. Application in a financial institution intranet - investor customer service / stock market / company portfolios.
Dabbled in everything, but for actually coding pretty much everything and anything: C/C++ and Haskell. I almost exclusively do Haskell in my own time because it's awesome in almost every way (job is C++ and C++ tends to suck the life out of me fast if not kept in check,) except for the %2 case where I may actually need C or C++ for some very strange/rare reason. I also know a fair bit of perl, but I use it rarely these days.
I'm don't really like most dynamically typed languages. Static typing is the way to go, but Java's type system sucks really really hard, and for that matter C++'s type system sucks really hard, just not quite as hard. Both are pretty atrocious though by modern standards.
There's also the occasional bit of dabbling in assembly language when it's necessary which is rare. I actually spend more time looking at x86_64 assembly dumps in debuggers/IDA than probably anything else in this area, although I've been using my Android phone as a vehicle to try and learn ARMv7 assembly.

By day, I'm a mild-mannered MUMPS/M programmer, and by night I do C# for fun. Apart from that, I've written programs of at least some decent complexity in:
C, C++, Java, Perl, LUA, and x86/MIPS/PIC assemblers. I've dabbled a bit in PHP but never really anything too major. I guess I used BASIC back in the mid-80s, but didn't do too much of note with it.
You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear on a pink ball alone can take the head clean off a 90 pound midget at 300 yards.
Oh wow everyone knows cool languages. That's not fair.
I know VHDL. A hardware description language. Very interesting concept.
The constructs are very similar to programming languages, but the "compiler", called a synthesizer, will turn it into a physical circuit (with transistors) that implements your function.
Of course, some things aren't possible, like delays (electrons won't wait for you), and loops with non-constant number of iterations (because essentially all loops are completely unrolled). It's also inherently parallel.
But from a casual glance, VHDL code looks a lot like software code.

Commercially I have worked in;
C, C++, C#, VB6, VB.NET, SQL, PL/SQL, ASP, ASP.NET, JAVASCRIPT
mainly using WIN32, MFC and .NET frameworks
I have also coded in BASIC, PASCAL, Fortran and COBOL.
