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!

I forgot one in my list up there ... machine code.
First ever program I wrote was on a computer at the uni my Dad worked at - it had been built by the students, and input was by use of 8 big switches, above which was a light, one small green button, and a Big Red Button.
Set the switches to represent a byte
Press the small green button to enter
Set the switches for the next byte
Press the small green button\
repeat as necessary.
When done, press the Big Red Button to run.
As it ran, the lights reflected the status of the Accumulator. So you could read your output.
First proggie was something like...
0: LDA 0
2: LDX 0
4: INX
5: LAX
6: BNE 6
Which if memory serves were the mnemonics for the instructions. (but I might be confusing with 6502 which I learned shortly after)
I had to look up the instructions in a book and enter them a byte at a time.

This sounds very much like when a colleague of mine and I had to reload the bootstrap code into a Pr1me 300B mini computer back in the 70's when I worked part time for the University "data centre". We had 16 switches for the memory address (in binary) then eight more for the actual code byte. Set the address, set the code byte, press the white button. Luckily the address automatically went to the next address after being initially set so we only had to enter the code bytes. My friend read each value (in hex) from the manual and I converted them to binary on the switches. The bootstrap code was about 120 bytes long so it took a lot of time - but we did manage to do it right on the first try so not too bad - and we only ever had to do it once (due to a memory component failing and the spare not arriving until next week and the astronomy department needing work done for tomorrow).

... and this is where your credibility falls on the floor and shatters ungracefully.
Everybody knows that APL is a write-only language.
Looking at any APL code (even your own, 10 minutes after writing it) and describing what it is doing is an impossible task.

Unfortunately you are right. I got the original APL programmer to tell me what each bit of code did - I am fairly sure he was telling me from memory of the process rather than the code since he wasn't always able to explain in detail what the funny little squiggly things actually meant, precisely.
However, in my weekly report attached to my timesheet for the manager to sign off on it clearly said "read APL code to determine code specification".

Like all languages that's a feature of how it's written – reshapes and matrix transposes aren't intrinsically more difficult concepts than function pointers or complex Linq statements. APL is perhaps easier to write incomprehensible code in because it lets you do more with less, but it's certainly possible to write good APL.
Unfortunately APL came out of academic origins and a large amount of it is written by people who just hack it until it works. The vendors today (particularly Dyalog) are trying to drag the language, environment and culture into the 21st century but it's quite a slow road when the community's been divorced from the mainstream for a long time and hasn't been included in revolutions like source control, unit testing, CI etc.

My list is short (I've played with lots of languages but not used that many for paid work):
APL (Dyalog flavour)
Java
C#
Q (also K)
JavaScript/HTML/CSS
R
VBA
Bash script
Perl
C++ (very brief encounter)
The vast majority is C# and Java but lots of our work involves some slightly weird stuff around the edges which can require poking about in other languages.

I know exactly what you mean. I actually had to convert some EXEC and EXEC/2 programs to Rexx, EXEC was really weird but didn't seem so after I had to look at APL!
