Most of them, and a bunch of others. Just learned something like a programming language today.

I've probably forgotten more programming languages than most kids today could list. Comes with the territory if you're in the business for over 40 years.

Oh boy, PL/SQL!

in my previous job, we had one product with ~2M lines of code, which had one single PL/SQL procedure that was 10 000 lines long.
