When you weren't using your primary programming language, which one did you use the most?

might be nice to have combined both polls and let us vote for up to 4.
or at least make this poll let us vote for 3.

I understand what you are getting at, but my desire is to have people consciously choose a primary and a secondary language in terms of the past 12 months. I am not looking for a laundry list of all languages used at some point during the year.

I think the second language I used most was whatever language is found inside Game Maker.

I use C# as the second language the most, but that's basically just porting existing code snippets from C# to VB .NET because I don't have C# installed  :-[

Programming is an art form that fights back.

I had to convert a 25 year old fortran program into c++ - this was a real horror job without help of the creator this would be impossible I think.

Matlab for me, but that's cause I have to use it for college. It's nice though so I don't mind :) .

Due to my final year project for my major being an assembler, the second most used language for me is actually my own (easm) - as I continue to develop it in preparation for my exams.
