In Order: Logo: HOLY SHIT I'M 8 AND I CAN MAKE THE COMPUTER DO SHIT! QBasic: Easy to get started and allowed me to write text games for myself AGT: DOUBLE HOLY SHIT I CAN WRITE MY OWN TEXT ADVENTURES?! ZZTOOP: You gave the gamers a language to write their own levels. Freaking Schweet. VB 4: Having controls is kinda nice! Delphi: I don't remember much. I think I liked... That I was better then anyone else in my highschool class. Java: Lots of libraries and lots of people in the ecosystem. Plus, I got good at typing. Motorola Assembler: Hackity Hack! Whoo, LEDS! Made me appreciate higher level constructs, and also gave me a greater understanding of CPUs and how I am really standing on the shoulders of giants. C: Very powerful access to the OS. Haskell: Functional Programming hurt my brain but gave me an appreciation for the elegant. Prolog: I just love the "Define Solution: Get Implementation" nature of Prolog. Groovy: Having live scripting makes it much easier to do work with JMeter, which is otherwise annoying difficult. Ruby: Makes things easy, unverbose. C#: Lots of libraries, more cool language features in every version, the best IDE I've ever used. Not as verbose as Java but just as accepted. Scala: Woah. SO much fun. I'm really liking how enjoyable and simple it makes solving problems. My new favourite toy.
