      Another coding lover hooray! My weapon of choice is one you’ve probably never heard of, it is called IDL. I use it as it has been the program of choice for astrophysics for a long time, especially Solar Physics. I used a specialized suite called solarsoft that has a lot of astro-specific routines. So I write routines in IDL as well as use pre-existing ones. I also use Fortran for one bit of code, but to tell you the truth, I really don’t like it!
