Tell us what programming languages you speak. I know java, python, and something that's too embarrassing to mention here because it will reveal more about my location than you need to know. I can also write html but everyone can do that so it doesn't count even though it's not even a programming language. I want to learn lisp because it seems like the platonic ideal of a programming language

Mostly Python, but I also have experience with Java, C++, Matlab, R, Fortran and LaTeX.

Mostly Python as well. I've also used C, Java, C++, Matlab, and Latex. I tried Ruby, but failed miserably, and am a tad capable in Scheme.
Really though, mostly python.

I can write Latex too but I thought that was a markup language like HTML

Just learning Python. I am not even remotely competent with it yet. | | atvelonis |

I'm sort of accidentally familiar with JavaScript, but not in a useful way (mostly the result of copy+paste coding on wikis). I'm working on Python too.

I also know MATLAB and was forced to learn Rcommander although I am 99.7% confident that I will completely forget everything I know about it by the end of the year

Well I just finished a semester of Python, so I guess I understand the basics now. As my capstone project I wrote a script to help with some maintenance on the wiki I run: the bot will log into an account, make a query using the MediaWiki API of all images on the wiki, then iteratively obtain the source code of each file description and edit it to contain the proper licensing information (and then publish said edit). Since MediaWiki has a built-in maximum of 5000 entries for one page in a list for sysops and bots, I'm using recursion to repeat the loop for the next set of 5000 entries. That seems a little bit stupid to me—ideally, the loop should be able to run indefinitely on its own—but because Wikia uses MediaWiki 1.19 (very outdated) instead of a modern version, I'm pretty sure I can't use a newer continuation parameter in the initial query. But the script works so I'm not really bothered by it.

Yesterday evening was the first time the whole semester that I wrote something in Java that I understood intuitively. I guess having done Python beforehand didn't do me any favors. Java is so much more particular about everything.
Of course, in classic university CS course style, the data structure that I was building was completely nonsensical. Instead of using a Linked List or similar, my assignment was to create two stacks (last-in-first-out) that together emulated the behavior of a queue (first-in-first-out). My solution to remove an element was to push almost the entire contents of stack1 onto stack2, and then pop the final element in stack1 (the first one added to the "queue," originally). First one in, first one out. And incredibly inefficient, but I think it was supposed to be a way to get across the functions of stacks and queues simultaneously more than be a practical example.

A magnificent astrophysical discovery! I admire the dedication of the lady who wrote all the code for the data analysis.

Having tons of fun creating my own cavemaker. I tried to practice WinForms for upcoming labs in a pleasant, yet beneficial way, and this instantly came to mind.
No competition with CSD and Jebby's exquisite cavemakers, of course. (not even mentioning the matchless Neopets' cavemaker xd) | | |
