My path was (C64) Basic -> Quick Basic -> (Borland) C++ -> (x86) asm -> Java -> Python. Mostly. There's some Ruby, plain C, Lisp, Haskell, C# in there, and lately Ocaml and Rust. And lots of shell scripting in between. Never needed Pascal, and I stay away from Perl. Clojure is still on my wishlist, as is Scala (because of Spark, mostly).
