hmm I started with Java in high school. Learned Java in University (also Python), and continued with Java and Javascript today.
I have never touched C or C++ other then for assignments in university. I always say it would be nice to dabble with C one day...but that day never happens...
Not counting early attempts with ZX Spectrum and Pascal.
From 1985 -> TODAY (earning money with it) :
Small trips to using: PHP, Python, C++,...
My first programming language was Java and today I'm mostly using TypeScript. Along the way (about 5 years I've been studying engineering) I've learnt C++, JavaScript, Python and a little PHP. I've got a long way ahead of me, but I'm staying positive π
Started with GWBasic and now I use mainly Ruby
Back when I was in high school, I remember my first language that I used was VB. After that I shift into C/C++, Java, ASM, VHDL(Idk if this counted as a programming language...) when I entered in college.
Recently I use Javascript (Nodejs and other frameworks), C# for game dev, C++ or Python for IoT/Embedded Systems.
I started with PHP at 15, now profesionally, python and C#, for backend and frontend (javascript -insert random framework here-). And for my personal project projects python. If project needs a fronted ... vue is my preference
Learned CPP, Python, PHP, Javascript
Using Typescript and Golang
Started Computer Science in 2010 learning Pascal π
Now I'm happily coding C#, Javascript and PHP with .NET Core, Angular and Laravel.
Started with C++, but wasn't until 4 years later (during my CS degree) that I understood pointers
Now I'm using Elixir and Erlang
My first language was BASIC back in the late 80s. I'm not completely sure what version of BASIC it was, but I remember making text adventure games with my sister and father on our home PC and having a lot of fun doing it.
The first language I learned that I still use today is Javascript, which I learned when it was new in the mid-90s when I was in high school. Naturally, I use it for much different things nowadays.
The first language I learned "the right way" according to some snobs I've worked with through the years (meaning I learned it in a college classroom) was C++. I never really used it after leaving college but learning it definitely opened my eyes to how programming works under the hood.
The first language I learned that I fell in love with while learning it was Python, which I learned in the mid 00's. I still love using it today even though its not something I use at work (unfortunately). It's my daily driver for my home projects, despite a lot of my programmer friends thinking you should be using JS for everything!
