I'm really curious about how the first language you learn influences your way of thinking about programming. I suspect that over the long term, it doesn't matter, but I wonder if it might make a big difference in the first few years.
For example, I started with BASIC, and then moved to C. Thinking in loops was really hard for me at first (as opposed to using goto).
What would be like if your first language was a Lisp?
Less seriously, what about Unlambda? Or Brainfuck?
