I'm going to have to say MS Basic. I know, I know, I know, hold on. I'm not picking it for its merits as a language. I'm picking it because that was the first language my 8-year-old-self ever saw in their life. It's the one that got that first light bulb to go off in my head with an audible "whoa". It's the one that is still largely responsible for my career choice in life -- 33 years later -- so while I haven't touched it since, and while I would not necessarily recommend it to newcomers now, I owe it this much ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
That's very sentimental, I know before I got into Rust, I was really into C++ and even though I haven't touched it since, theres still a lot of what I understand in programming that's owed to it.
