I did... let me think, it's been a while... C, Python, C++, Java, Common Lisp, Ada, Erlang. Also OCaml, Ruby, Haskell, Emacs Lisp, Lua, Rust, but I don't think any of those ever reached a working state.

I respect you have learnt a lot of programming languages throughout of your career.

  • My knowledge of most of these is superficial or seriously outdated. Particularly OCaml, Haskell, and Rust (AND C++!!!) are not languages I would claim to really "know". When I was younger, I tried to get to know as many languages as possible, at least in passing, but I have not used many of these in a professional context.
