  • I chose Visual Basic (my first one) because I wanted an easy start into GUI programming.
  • I chose Pascal because it was mandatory back in school.
  • I chose Object Pascal because Delphi/RAD Studio has been the most awesome RAD IDE well into 2018 and counting.
  • I chose C++ because <filesystem> is amazing (yes, it's that simple).
  • I chose C because sometimes I want to have as little overhead as possible.
  • I chose Common Lisp because it has an awesome ecosystem (QuickLisp) and it allows be to build incredibly quick prototypes.
  • I chose Racket because it is basically "Lisp with a kitchen sink", having both a GUI and a web framework as a part of the language itself.
  • I chose Python because I didn't know better.
  • I chose C# because I wanted to play with Windows Forms (still ongoing project, maybe I'll tell you later).
  • I chose FASM because I want to know my limits. (Looks like FASM is my limit.)
  • I chose COBOL because I was curious.

I never transitioned. Why would I?
