Basic. 1973. High school geometry. We typed on a keyboard that caused holes to be punched into a roll of paper. After class, the teacher took the paper down to the school office. The next day we got the results. I didn’t see the point.

In 1986 I learned Clipper for work, and then right away C, which is when I started programming for a living.

I started with C in 1983. Pascal was in fashion too, those days. I also programmed in Forth and Assembly around 1987, that was good fun.

FORTRAN on punch cards to feed to an IBM 1620 with 4096 bytes of memory, which was actually comprised of little magnetic doughnuts suspended in a 3D grid of wires which formed a cube about 9 inches on a side.
