The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Programming languages polyglots: how many languages you know? Post 302225327 by spirtle on Friday 15th of August 2008 06:43:31 AM

I have mainly used C and C++, but before that it was Fortran, including various proprietary versions for HPC from Cray and CM. Perhaps the most obscure langauge I used back then was another HPC-specific one called Tao, which had some fun features like being able to define (not just overload) your own operators and syntax. I have also programmed in some assembly langauges which gives you a rather different perspective on things (goto not considered harmful!).

I used to do a lot of Perl and bash and csh and a bit of Python, but not so much now. I dabbled with Ruby too, just out of curiousity. I've never had to write Java, but I ocasionally have to read it.

I think that while it would be unusual to ask specifically for an awk programmer, having reasonable knowledge of a variety of such tools will make you more efficient in your work.

I agree with era that Emacs Lisp is enjoyable, but I haven't done any in ages; I have probably forgotten it all now.

NAME
struct - structure Fortran programs SYNOPSIS
struct [ option ] ... file DESCRIPTION
Struct translates the Fortran program specified by file (standard input default) into a Ratfor program. Wherever possible, Ratfor control constructs replace the original Fortran. Statement numbers appear only where still necessary. Cosmetic changes are made, including chang- ing Hollerith strings into quoted strings and relational operators into symbols (.e.g. ".GT." into ">"). The output is appropriately indented. The following options may occur in any order. -s Input is accepted in standard format, i.e. comments are specified by a c, C, or * in column 1, and continuation lines are specified by a nonzero, nonblank character in column 6. Normally input is in the form accepted by f77(1) -i Do not turn computed goto statements into switches. (Ratfor does not turn switches back into computed goto statements.) -a Turn sequences of else ifs into a non-Ratfor switch of the form switch { case pred1: code case pred2: code case pred3: code default: code } The case predicates are tested in order; the code appropriate to only one case is executed. This generalized form of switch state- ment does not occur in Ratfor. -b Generate goto's instead of multilevel break statements. -n Generate goto's instead of multilevel next statements. -tn Make the nonzero integer n the lowest valued label in the output program (default 10). -cn Increment successive labels in the output program by the nonzero integer n (default 1). -en If n is 0 (default), place code within a loop only if it can lead to an iteration of the loop. If n is nonzero, admit a small code segments to a loop if otherwise the loop would have exits to several places including the segment, and the segment can be reached only from the loop. `Small' is close to, but not equal to, the number of statements in the code segment. Values of n under 10 are suggested. FILES

f77(1) BUGS
Struct knows Fortran 66 syntax, but not full Fortran 77. If an input Fortran program contains identifiers which are reserved words in Ratfor, the structured version of the program will not be a valid Ratfor program. The labels generated cannot go above 32767. If you get a goto without a target, try -e . 7th Edition October 22, 1996 STRUCT(1)
