I am writing a thesis; all theses require surveys.  To make my survey
of robot programming languages fairly up to date, I would like to know
what languages people are REALLY using for their robotics work NOW,
whether in industry or in academia.

			a rough rubric

	guided or taught, offline
	programming methodology, e.g., object-oriented or procedural
	user level support and libraries
	motion, task, or goal level
	ideal effector, kinematics, dynamics
	control theory, i.e., position, force, hybrid, potential function
	data types support, e.g., frames of reference
	single manipulator/ multiple manipulators and their coordination
	support for cells in a flexible manufacturing system
	hooks to computer integrated manufacturing
******	any other criteria I forgot

Please mail to me, and I will collect and post, as this seems to be of
general interest.
