I wonder: technically Basic (MSX Basic to be precise) was the language I wrote my first working program in, but I've learnt to program on paper. I am serious: we had no computers in school, but we had a programming course and a teacher who took that seriously. So I've learnt about variables, loops, control flow etc. by writing pseudocode on paper. When I got access to the computer all I needed was a syntax. So is my brain mutilated or not? :|
