My 'primary languages' are PBASIC, VHDL (though I curse it's name), and Matlab.
I have used somewhat extensively QuickBASIC, various flavors of TI-BASIC, some 68K ASM, java, c++, HTML, and LabVIEW.
These are all languages as far as I'm concerned. Whether it's tokenized for the Stamp's BASIC interpreter, java bytecode to run on the
aJ-100 hardware JVM processor, or c++ code compiled for x86, it's all programming to me.
From a test engineer's point of view, Dr. Joe is completely right. Automotive electrical testing is moving toward Matlab Simulink and LabVIEW.
