Turbo Pascal was the first proper language that I learnt! I loved it!

I went QBasic to VB for Dos, and tried C++ next but it was too much for me as a teen so I learned Turbo Pascal and then C++, C#, Java, XAML, JavaScript, TypesScript, and F#.

I actually wound up teaching a lot of my class Turbo Pascal. We ended our semester building a game together using Borland Graphical Interface for Turbo Pascal.

I mucked around with BASIC as a small kid , then Turbo Pascal from 13, played with 8086 assembler a bit and then did HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Java, XML / XSLT, XQuery, and Python.
