#83Most of my work is in C++, which is almost 35 years old. By far the best choice of language for cross-platform, client application development, especially C++11/C++14, which bring modern language features (e.g. lambdas, futures, etc) with all the original benefits of the language.

#90assembler (various) (I've even learned x86_64 well after being a RISC aficionado, it's actually kinda neat)
sed
bash
LaTex
I used to use YACC/LEX but that's been replaced with ANTLR for awhile now.
What language am I starting to use? Rust and R.
