Which Programming Language Did You Start With As A Developer?

For me, I started with JavaScript and C#. My first program was:

console.log("Hello World")

What about you?

Started with good old Python2.7.

My first program was:

print "Hello, World!"

First started with Racket (a Scheme dialect) more than 15 years ago, though I couldn't write a line of code in it today if my life depended on it without having the documentation to look through.

The first time I did any even remotely serious coding though (that is, coding for reasons other than just trying to learn how computers work) was about 10 years ago when I first learned Lua, C, AVR assembly, MSP430 assembly, and then finally Python (in that order, over the course of about 6 months).

It would have been a very minimalist implementation of BASIC. I'm not even sure it supported GOSUB.

I was around 15 when I decided I wanted to be a video game dev, I had a friend in college that had dev lessons. I asked to get his notes and started with Pascal (quickly switched to C).
