I don't know if it's "these days" enough but I started programming at age of 9 in 2001, first on some Soviet computers's BASIC, then on 386/486 (they still had those)'s QBasic, then on VB6 in 2002, and then somewhere later in 2002 I found C, and in 2003 I moved to C++ completely as writing something more complex with C than "Hello World" was kind of hard for me:)
Another shift happened when I was 17 (last autumn), as I have discovered LISP and Python and Ruby. With Python and Ruby understood that programming itself can be fun, not just the fact of solving problems with it, and expanded my brain (almost blew it away) with Common LISP, Scheme (call/cc.. yay), and Clojure.
- rythie 18y agoI'd count that as these days, though that's was still some pretty old stuff at the the time you used it. I was on BASIC on the BBC B computer in 1989/90ish and Q-basic around 1991/92 (when I was 11 or 12).
- mannicken 18y agoYeah, I started out without personal computer, in a informatics club in post-Soviet Union country. We didn't have much money and were packed with 286s, 386s, and we even had one P133 (it ran... omg, Win95!!!).
