Hi,
Most projects involve communication with another system, which makes it necessary for me to use Revolution together with other programming tools and languages. I have now experience with over a dozen of different languages and I have no idea what number I would get if I counted every language I ever used.
Which language I prefer, depends on the project. For a very small utility, I might use AppleScript or VBScript. For a web-based project I prefer PHP. If a client requests it, I'm happy to use SuperCard. For most projects, I prefer to stick to Revolution.
Best,
Mark

It comes down to what is it a client wants, Then what is the most effective way to get it done. Just thinking about the current time I got to say I use 15 different ones now. And I could even count all the ones I have used since the late 1970's.
It would be great if one language could do everything I wanted, but that is not the case.

I am in the process of learning Revolution but I use several different languages with on and off regularity (depends on the current job which is C# at the moment). These are the main ones: Assembly\C\C++\C#\VB 6\VB.NET\JavaScript\VBScript\Aurora\EBasic.
Edit to Add: I also develop in Java using Eclipse and WebSphere. Just finished a job using that around 6 months ago using WebSphere, JSF. etc.

My triad consists of Revolution, Progress ABL and Java - mixing and matching them for the projects at hand.
