@ovid I started with BASIC, then did machine language (assembler) for several work terms -- a proprietary machine by AES Data --, then C, 6809, 68000 and then x86 assembler, then C again, a bit of PostScript, some Pascal, some REXX on OS/2, a few things in awk, and finally Perl. I took one course each in FORTRAN and COBOL, but never worked in those languages. My Dad showed me a bit of APL in high school, but it was too advanced for me to comprehend at that point.
