Mathematica
any other scripts I want to open to see how they work (PHP, Javascript)
Ruby (trying to learn this now)

  • ColdFusion (CFML) No it’s not dead…
  • AutoHotkey

Really I use Sublime for everything - it is my default editor for Filezilla, Oracle SQL Dev, BeyondCompare, etc.

Honestly i’m a bit suprised that aren’t much people using C\C++ or even compiled languages.
Is there any sort of missing functionality for compiled languages that i’m not aware of ? (Mainly i use 70% C++)

It might not have a direct code browser on the screen but you see the methods in the code definition.
Maybe it’s missing the hability to index external libraries which makes more atractive for compiled languages.

I use ST for C/C++. The stock C/C++ syntax files causes a number of syntax highlight issues. I had to fork it and patch most of them myself…and even then it still is not perfect. The syntax file approaches things in blocks: if blocks, function blocks, #if blocks etc. Compiler switches can throw these blocks off depending how they are used to break up code. On top of that, since everything is evaluated in blocks, you get this recursive problem as the syntax highlighter digs into nested blocks. Sometimes, the highlighter crashes (leaving un-highlighted code) due to exceeding some recursive limit. I don’t have that issue much anymore with since I have patched my own version, but I still do see issues from time to time, but it is usable enough for me to not worry about it.
