Ask HN: what do you look for in a resume?

As an engineer looking through resumes, do you want to see all the languages and tools we have used before, or just the primary ones? For example, I list Python, C/C++, and Java as my languages even though I have dabbled in Scheme, Ruby, PHP, etc.

I've seem some people put SVN as a skill, but isn't that assumed? I've seen VIM as a skill. Irrelevant?

I don't want to clutter up my resume, but I don't want them to think that I only can program in languages that the university teaches.
