I think almost all of us started with BASIC. Then we all wanted to do more... and with more memory and do it faster... so I needed a compiled language. So, I learned C, then Pascal, then VisualBasic. C forever corrupted me. Then C++ was the future, so I learned that... and then the web came... and with it came CGI scripting with Perl. I really fell in love with Python, though. It was what BASIC should have been, but Python was slow, so I learned Go. Along the way I also learned Prolog, Lisp, Java, Javascript, Rexx and a host of different OS scripting languages. Now, I just look at a problem, and pick something that fits. Mostly. Except when I want to learn something new.
