Job apps are fun and tedious!

Oh come on, why would you only leave room for about 10 programming languages on a job app? :) Hehe. At least this way I get to pick the 10 I know/have known decently that make me look most useful for this job.

coding, work

What's your list?

Languages I really know, meaning I could easily write several hundred lines of working code without needing a reference manual:

C
C++
Java
Perl
Python
Matlab
68K assembler
Pascal
BASIC

Languages I know, but not quite that well:

PHP
SML
Fortran
Lisp
Scheme
Logo
PPC assembler
x86 assembler
JavaScript
SQL

Languages I really want to learn:
OCaml
Ruby
Objective-C

Languages I don't know (and don't plan to learn at this time):
Eiffel
Smalltalk
ADA
TCL

What am I forgetting?

I'm not really in practice with most of them, so I list languages I have known well or currently use (enough I could code at a decent pace with occasional references, and pick it up again very quickly):
Java
C++
Python
Perl
C
SML
HTML (they always make me put this one in the PLs list...)
Scheme
JavaScript
Pascal
TeX (shows up on this languages list)

Others I have enough exposure to I could learn/relearn at an accelerated rate:
Lisp
Prolog
Matlab
Applescript
SPARC assembler
Logo (I would never have thought of this one if you hadn't listed it)
Mathematica
Rex! Hahaha

Wanna learn:
SQL
Objective-C
Jython
Ruby
Smalltalk
Haskell (I know, I'm really frickin weird)
Fortran (morbid curiosity)

HTML doesn't count! But I know, I should probably list it on a job form. I forgot about Prolog and Applescript. Not sure if Jython should count either, but what the heck.

TeX is definitely a language, though - you could totally program it if you wanted to! Ooooh, and what about PostScript? It's Turing-complete! :)
