My first contact with coding was HTML, CSS and snippets of JavaScript copied from various coding schools. This was during high school back in 2010 and I did not truly understand what I was doing.
At university I started with C++, which was a real shock to me. Although I try to avoid using C++ professionally, I must appreciate the insight it gave me on how code is executed at lower levels. Then I took courses on Java and Python, but the language I fell in love with was C#. C# is just so beautiful and powerful - it feels like poetry. I quickly gave up on C++, Java and Python (and practically forgot them). They just felt so old, non-intuitive and heavy, compared to C#. I even went so far that during my Android lectures I used Xamarin instead of Java - just to have the pleasure of coding in C#.
Today, I still strongly prefer C#. I do use also JavaScript, because it is literally everywhere. Plus, the new ES standards have transformed it into an actually good language. But I would not change the way I learned languages - going through C++, Java and Python gave me a good perspective for why C# is so cool. I wish more people would appreciate it :)
I started with C# and unfortunately haven't used it since. However the more I learn about Software Development the more I realize that all of the stuff I learned about C# was pretty awesome. I'll have to use it again some day (in love with the JVM right now so we'll see if that happens...).
