It's great to play around with and takes very little time to type something up and try it. It's fast and versatile. Obviously it's a great fit for pen testing and running small tasks or even typing one up on the fly.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 16 at 2015 5:26 AM2015-10-16T05:26:03-04:002015-10-16T05:26:03-04:00COL Private RallyPoint Member1044608<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="77973" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/77973-25u-signal-support-systems-specialist">SGT Private RallyPoint Member</a> - depends on the task and the environment. I've worked with "low-level languages" (assembly) to the higher "interpreted langages" (Python) and the in-betweens (Fortran, Pascal, C, C++, etc.) All have strengths and weaknesses. The advantages today of (relatively) fast processors and cheap memory give us the luxury of the interpreted langauges that are easier to learn, read, and debug. However, for speed and minimal memory usage the compiled languages typically have the advantage.Response by COL Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 16 at 2015 9:48 AM2015-10-16T09:48:57-04:002015-10-16T09:48:57-04:001LT William Clardy1044708<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SQL -- it has the advantage of being arcane enough to scare off the easily intimidated and yet important enough that proven mastery of it (and the associated data-centric mindset) commands a salary premium.<br />In other words, just like COBOL, except not even close to being thought of as a dead language yet.<br /><br />And the size of the pay premium tends to be determined by the dialect(s) you have mastered. PL-SQL pays best, but Transact-SQL still pays pretty well and is a lot more ubiquitous.Response by 1LT William Clardy made Oct 16 at 2015 10:30 AM2015-10-16T10:30:31-04:002015-10-16T10:30:31-04:00TSgt Private RallyPoint Member1044912<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>C#, HTML, SQL, JavaScript, VB, ColdFusion<br /><br />'Know' is an interesting question, I've programmed in quite a number, but whether I can currently write them correct without massive help from the IDE, Google, and StackExchange?<br />I have written in: Java, PHP, C++, Fortran77, x86 Assembly, Apple Basic, Apple Pascal, bash, DOS scripting...Response by TSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 16 at 2015 11:43 AM2015-10-16T11:43:30-04:002015-10-16T11:43:30-04:00MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca1046730<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-64371"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">
