HP's RPN calculator - Wrote my first fractal calculation on it. ZX Spectrum BASIC - "PEEK" and "POKE" to write into graphics memory. GW BASIC - Loved "BEEP" and "PLAY". Made first toy music program. MS Quick Basic - No line numbers! Yay! (compared to GW BASIC) Pascal - Blazingly fast compilation! (compared to just about anything else) C - The warm feeling of being close to the metal. C++ - Destructor evaluation upon stack unwind. Haskell - Beautiful syntax. If you can compile your program, it'll probably run as you expect it to. Scheme - Just me and my code play. Nothing comes in between. Not even the parens. Smalltalk - Late binding - messages live separately from objects and classes. Erlang - My first intro to message passing concurrency.
