Bloody hell, i feel like an old man on this forum. Anyway,
I've been coding since the age of 7 on a Sinclair ZX81 (assembler), then on to a BBC Micro (6502) assembler. Once I got my first PC it was into C, C++, DBase III+, FoxPro, Turbo Pascal, COBOL, Basic etc.
My first job with using RPGIII/CLP on an IBM System 38 (what a beast), then onto an AS/400 (System i now). From there I've used VB, ASP, C#, SQL, Bash etc. Now do Java full time.
I now design large distributed systems to handle on-line betting using highly async/concurrent servers using Ratpack (way faster than NodeJS). We use the same Disributed NoSQL db that Netflix uses (Cassandra) which is the dogs nuts.
Oh as for IDE, we use Eclipse and IDEA with a sprinkling of VIM and Emacs for good measure.
Not a Windows machine in site! LOL
