Hypercard was my first real programming exposure. Going back and looking at my stacks (which I found many years after forgetting about them) was a humbling lesson in "holy crap, I can't believe I was that terrible at programming." But it definitely did get me interested, and it was really freaking powerful for something we treated like a toy.
