Hey, Dev folks 👋
What was the first programming language you learned?

I wrote my first Hello World in C++.
Today ... I do Java, Python & JavaScript. 😅
Python was my first (not counting scratch 😂). Python is what I use today.
Yeah, the same thing I was discussing with Sandor. It's a great language indeed.
Exactly 😀
If we don't count Logo, I started with Turbo Pascal. Today I mostly use C++ and Python.
Python really has come a long way. Nowadays I see folks starting with Python and staying Python forever.
And C++, unbeatable as always.
BASIC on the C64, then GW-BASIC on the PC. But it's with Turbo Pascal that I started getting more into it.
Nowadays it's largely C# and JavaScript.
Yeah, I started learning Turbo Pascal as well in the very beginning. But later moved to Java Soon, due to its demand.
Java didn't come out until nearly 10 years later in my case. So there was some C, xBASE languages (dBASE III Plus, Clipper, FoxBase+/FoxPro) in the meantime. And SAS. I've never actually worked with Java.
Similarly, C64/C16/C+4 BASIC + assembly, then Turbo Pascal on PC, i386 assembly, C, C++, then Java, JS, PHP, C#.
Nowadays working mainly in PHP, learning Rust and Dart for fun and for widening my sight.
I also did some assembly on 8088 and SPARC, but just for fun (8088) and university (SPARC). That never amounted to anything but a frozen PC (8088 assembly) - lol. I forgot that I do have a web site that uses PHP. I rarely need to change the code these days. My stalled personal project is to rewrite it completely using ASP.NET Core.
I also did some COBOL and Modula-2, but never outside of school. I did some C++ and C++/CLI at work.
Definitely forgot a lot earlier. I guess my coffee is starting to kick in.
First was Basic
next Turbo Pascal,
next Visual Basic,
next C#,
now mostly Python, PHP and some Javascript
Python & JS are the kinds of webdev today it seems from all the comments.
First was C programming, then C++ , next java, c#,
Now I am working simultaneously on python, PHP, and javascript.
what a lame comment,
how on earth you can decide what someone else do
and as a matter of fact, wordpress alone powering more than 35% of web
and if php is that bad, then why would most of the websites are in php?
i guess it has become a fashion for people to bash php (just like ppl used to do windows long back)
end of the day, what matters is what your employer/clients wants.... PERIOD
My first real-world app-building programming language was C++.
Now I'm working mainly with JavaScript, front and back 😀
JS is not getting older any soon :D
I guess it was C now its Javascript/Typescript and i love it <3
CLIPPER SUMMER 87
I don't really think that PL/SQL is considered a programming language but it's the first one I used (in a job).
In the university, we were taught a bit of Pascal and C++, but it was never comprehensive.
I'm a Java developer now. I also use a bit of JavaScript of course (who doesn't these days?!).
first Visual Basic and now mostly JavaScript, TypeScript and JAVA
If we don't count Turbo Pascal from the early days, I learned Java in Engineering School. Used it for a long time in my career but transitioned to the web last years and use now mostly JavaScript (Stencil, Angular, React, Typescript).
My first ever programming was Q-BASIC, Visual Basic which taught to me in 6th class then moved to javascript then to php and SQL then after few year PL/SQL then Now I am currently Python developer!!!!
QBasic, today its javascript and rust.
Started with C and now I work with Rust and Javascript (Typescript).
