OK, here mine

pre-university:
Z-80 machine code (self designed/soldered computer [Screen: 32x8
characters each 6 bit - save chips save money]; the assembler was
me, manually)
Basic (Comodore C16)
FORTH (written be myself with the build in 5026[or something] assembler
of the C16)
A real assembler for the C16, which I used to write a different FORTH
Pascal

university:
Modula-2
VMS assembler
C
C++
Prolog
traces of Lisp
Unix/Linux
traces of Perl

post graduate:
SGML
Scheme
slim traces of ML
VHDL
Verilog
LaTeX, Lout
DSSSL
XSLT
some Python

You can www.dla-compro.de is no plone.  It's Scheme+XSLT+CSS+JavaScript.
(On top of askemos.org - a p2p network).

I would.  But don't ask me.  Ask the develpers how long it took them.
(They knew both before had a choice: write essential modelling code for
askemos but use it as data base only and utilize something like plone as
middle tier between the data base and the browser.  They choose the
alternative: drop plone and python; do it native.)
