I use whatever I have to. I try to get away with combining
   useful programs and making a batch file when I can, or at least
   come up with an easy process I can repeat, rather than writing a
   specific program.

   More than likely, I end up putting the logic and the process in
   an Excel spreadsheet with formulas. I like everything being
   exposed, not having to compile, instant feedback. Since most
   projects are just for myself, I don't need to make executables,
   just get the results I want.

   But I've done stuff in Turbo Pascal, PHP, played around with
   Erlang, C++, C, tried teaching myself FORTH, Python - I can't
   think of all of them. Tried to grasp Haskell ... didn't 'click'
   with me. Perl made sense.

   Mostly, though, the extent of my programming in real languages
   is getting working code and modifying it slightly. I rarely do
   things from scratch. Since Excel is my go-to Scratchpad, I
   usually end up doing things from scratch and there, and rarely
   have to move elsewhere when I need to manuever information
   around. Or whatever other tools suit the task. I have a whole
   bunch of little programs on my computer to do all kinds of
   things. I like being able to turn anything into anything without
   much effort because I'm lazy, hence efficient tongue emoticon
