I'm glad someone else claimed DCL as a programming language. I wrote a preprocessor in it for one project that generated about 25% of the code from a domain specific language we created.

It's Turing-complete*. I wrote a few (maybe as many as four?) menuing systems with it over the years, but mostly nothing extraordinary.
* Hmmm... maybe a project for some evening -- write a Turing Machine in DCL. I've written them in several languages including T-SQL.
Edit: Muhahahahaaaaaa... it is alive! At least a very simple Turing Machine written in DCL; reads the state table from a file and takes the input from a parameter, writes the output to SYS$OUTPUT.  I'll work on it more tonight.

I think my favorite "stupid DCL trick" was using defined symbols as arrays through concatenation of the 'index' with the 'array' name.

Yeah I'm using them in this. In this case I have two keys; the state and the scanned symbol. Unfortunately that limits the states and symbols to characters that are valid for symbol names (alphanumeric, underscore, and dollar sign) and they're non-case-sensitive. :shrug:
I was surprised at how quickly my DCL-fu came back. I just have to remember how to use EDT.

Crap, forgot about DCL... Ok, add that to the list.
Wrote a mini-Basic in DCL with for/next loops, subroutines, variables... ahhh... the good days.

Chronological:
Applesoft Basic (Apple II - Semi-Professional I worked on a volunteer project in 1982 which was never released)
6502 Assembly (Apple IIe - I really did write games using this)
Clipper/dBase III (Internal proof-on-concept)
Batch (Windows/DOS)
8086 Assembly (PC, mostly TASM with some MASM)
C (Turbo C then Microsoft C)
Windy (Invented language to drive UIs in DOS, which I heavily modified.)
Typhoon (My rewrite of Windy that was abandoned when Windows 3.0 was released.)
C++ (Borland C++ and Visual C++)
VBA (shudder)
Python
SQL (the basics)
PowerPC Asssembly (VxWorks boot loader for embedded system)
C#
(I had to read & review some ARM assembly, don't know if that counts.)
SSEx (is this a separate language?)
I am now back in C++ and loving it.

Many of those listed plus some others. The only one I really like is c#. Why? Because it's the one that pays the mortgage.

Quote: REXX (U.S. Army)
Hey! Another Rexxpert! We seem to be few and far between these days.
As well as using Rexx, later on in my career I actually ended up writing (for two different companies and totally different applications) a couple of Rexx interpreters. The first was actually a re-write as the person who wrote the original had never used the language and had made some basic mistakes in the interpreter (and it only supported integers - weird since it was written in C++ and I only had to change a couple of variable types to fix it since the parser already recognized floating point)!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I am surprised to see how few I have used:
Sinclair BASIC - 1982
BBC Micro BASIC - 1982
Pascal - 1988
6502 Assembly - 1988
COBOL -1989
SQL - 1989
Hypercard 2 - 1991
VBA - 1995
Vbscript - 1997
Javascript - 1997
C++ - 1998
VB .Net - 2003
C# - 2005
Haskell - 2013

as i must confess,being "envious" of your list "by nature", i still can smell some sort of self-adulation... 
as a side note:
html (i know, one does not program in html, but it´s an entry Point)
JavaScript
php
c++
vb
vba
vb.net
c#
the latter is, what i got stucked with...
COBOL?
i know, how to pronounce it and i know, where to sort that in,but i never pressed "any key" in order to use that language...

Well, I've written code in various machine code/assembler languages for testing hardware but not strictly as a paid coder - I was a mainframe support engineer in them days.
Over the last decade or so, VB6 & .Net, C# and C++ have helped pay the bills.

As I remember them and a sort of chronological order.
Basic - commodore 64 so probably some bastardised version.
DBase III + all of them including the Foxpro derivative
Lotus macros
Excel macros
Word macros
Bloody hell lots of macros in the early 90s
Superbase - what may have been the first windows desktop database
Access - alright VBA
Some 4gl database that was the forunner to PostGre
Borlands pascal offering - I liked Turbo Pascal
VB6
VB.net
C#
TSQL from 6.5
XAML - nobody mentions xaml
Oh yeah and lots of the various scripting and html crap around. They are almost as bad as macros, so depressing!
