Discussion on: First Code Crush: Which Language Feels Like Home?

I have sentimental feelings for a couple of languages.

C feels "like home" in that it was the first language I really started making actual things in. Even though I'd have to look up practically everything if I tried to write something nowadays.

But honestly, it's going to be Tandy Color BASIC which is the first thing I wrote anything in after my ZX81 days.

It was a weirdly nice and friendly interface, and I sometimes read old computer listings for the nostalgias. Feels like visiting my childhood.
