I'd add freepascal on that list for "Real work" - Any OS, tons of chip sets - and I do love C++ - but without a bunch of fanfair - I can write a web server in WinXP and compile it to true EXE assembly code etc like C++ .. but take the same source code unchanged and do the same on Mac, iPhone, Linux, etc. Yeah its a pin writing headers for things (cuz they are all C++) But... It's powerful.

A little unfair to the language surely? Most of my career has been C++ but it's C# these days. It's a beautiful language.
I gave up the traditional preconceptions that .NET is slow (MSIL + JIT, verifiable code etc. etc.) years ago - it isn't. I've changed languages but the projects I work on are just the same - large enterprise solutions and .NET handles it all perfectly well and performantly.

Not at all. I like it. I enjoy using it more than i do C++, to be honest.
But it doesn't pay my bills. The software i work on relies on a plethora of legacy and 3rd-party calculation engines, written in everything from Fortran and Cobol to VB and Delphi. And generally written by programmers who aren't very good about cleaning up after themselves. C++ makes it possible for the system to remain stable. The newest engines are showing up now as .NET assemblies - no worries, C++/CLI bridges the gap.
C++ is far from being my favorite language. But that's not the nature of this poll.

Fair dos, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I thought you meant C# was really only for noddy tasks.

It was good to mention FORTRAN too!!!
My company (like many other companies) is using FORTRAN for many years for its high speed!!

I have used Fortran 77 during my college days.

I am not sure. But the compilation process is really slow right?

Of course it matters it's the whole point of this survey. Lot's of people "mess around" with all manner of languages, I'm curious to see which ones are actually paying the bills.
I could claim dozens of languages if asked which ones I've used, that's not the point though.

I code C# at home for fun, but at work I mix between C#, HTML, VBScript, and Javascript
