This isn't a specific question regarding a certain program or anything, so if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it. 
I was just curious how long everyone here has been programming, and how long with C++? The reason I'm asking is I'm curious as to how long it took people like Narue to become as proficient as they are with the language.
I personally have been programming for ~4 years now, and worked with C++ for probably about 2-3 of those years. About the first two years were all on really basic console programs since I took a C++ class in high school and my first few classes in college were basic C++ courses.
Edit - Since plgriffith posted the other languages he's worked with, I guess I will too.
I've also worked with some Pascal, Assembly, SQL, Java, PHP, HTML and now starting to play around with Perl a little at work. I haven't really gone in depth with any of these languages though, C++ has always been my main focus.

I have been programming for five semesters now. At least one class each semester uses C++ so I would say I've been programming in C++ for about three years. I've also gotten to play around with Java, Scheme, MySQL, etc.

That sounds like exactly how I started out.
My high school offered Pascal and C++ and I started out with Pascal and then took the C++ course before I moved on to doing it in college, and now trying to make a career out of it.

hmm, not quite sure when I started programming.
It was using IBM Advanced BASIC on an IBM 5155 PC Portable, which was sold roughly in 1983/84. That makes well over 20 years now.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

About 10 years in C++, about 12 years total.

About 10 years in C++, about 12 years total.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

About 8 years on computers, 18 years if you count recreational algorithm invention not conducted on computers.

4 years for me.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

Have been programming for 4 years. I started programming during my college time. Learn quite a few language such as C++, Java, PHP, ASP.NET, C#. But all are mostly basic and hence not master in any of it.
