Since I'm not really a programmer, I just do it! 8-) I'm a research
geophysicist. However, we do now distribute an official copy of
perl and perl/Tk worldwide (along with other open source favorites, Tcl,
gcc, ImageMagick, vim, etc).

c/c++ (for numerical calculations)
fortran
PostScript (one of my CPAN contributions)
Tcl/Tk
SAS
and I won't go into history - though I did use Basic 32 years ago!
