LanguagesSIG

This Special Interest Group is about Linux Languages. Languages are not limited to compiled type languages such as C or C++, but can be "script" kind of languages like perl, python, and shell.

The SIG group will meet on the same day that the MLUG group meets, at 3 PM, usually in the adjoining room.

No one was interested in COBOL. — Jerry Davis - 9 Nov 2003 - I took Cobol off the table.

To better acquaint ourselves with languages that we all know and our profiency in them, the following table should be edited by everyone. I am sure I have left some out, so feel free to add to the columns of any that were left out.

Language Proficiency table:

Notes:

• - means no interest in learning (or teaching),
• 0 means no profiency (but interested in learning),
• 1 is least proficient,
• 5 means very proficient.

A 0, 1 or 2 would be signals that someone more proficient would be able to give a Language 101 on those, and be able to mentor those that want to learn.

A - means not interested, but a 0 means that you are interested in learning it, but never looked at the language or are not at all proficient in it.
