And miles to go before I sleep,

I was going to put C64 machine code since I did not have an assembler, but then I remembered that I would call the machine code routines from Basic.

I have also stated with Turbo C

I started with programming in "C" and then went on to learn..
C++ -> Java -> .Net -> HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, AJAX..
F# is my next target..

My First was Machine Code on an RCA 1802 microprocessor. I then Learned FORTRAN 77. Don't use either of them any More. But I do use 9 of the Top 20

Same here, but I still have my old computer and have replaced all damaged parts and undone all (not always wise) 'improvements'. It's now in good shape again and that's how it's supposed to stay.
Sometimes I still write some code for it, but now I have become lazy. I use a cross-assembler on the PC and then transfer the binary. As a WAV file I simply connect the PC's audio output to the old computer's cassette input, play the WAV and load it. 10 years ago I wrote a program that can load WAV samples from the old cassette tapes and reconstruct the binary files on the PC. This way many old programs could be rescued and made available to other users over the internet. Creating a new WAV sample from a binary file to play to the old computers was not so hard after that.
Ooops, that reminds me again to keep my promise to finish a new version of that program, which supports the tape formats of the Netronics Elf II, Quest Super Elf and now also the RCA VIP.

That was it, back then in school.
After each change, you had to hit "Enter" at the end of the code line. Otherwise the change would have no effect.

Yeah, who could ever forget a language with line numbers!

I would love programming in C even today and reminds me of good old days.

..even if it's totally pointless??

Any philosophers care to answer that?

Did you have to post your question?

Especially if it is pointless.

I seem to be a very old person here...
My first language was Algol 60 in 1975-1976. The second one was Fortran (IV and CERN editions) in 1976.

Join the club (Geriatric Programmers United). Apart from some stats work on a KDF9 using Autocode in the mid 60s, Algol 60 was the first language I earned my bread and butter with. That would be in 1968. I also used some NEAT assembler to drive a 24bit parallel interface we had designed and build, to connect a 250kW alternator up for real time analysis. All good stuff in those days.
I am well past retirement age, but am still earning my bread and butter at the same game. Though now it's C++, PHP, JavaScript and the like. She Who Must be Obeyed thinks I should retire, but I still enjoy it too much (the programming, that is).

Here's another OM.
I started programming in ALGOL and PL/M to arouse an SBC 80/10, one of Intel's first processor boards. Now it is mostly C++ which I make my bread with.
|
|
|
|
|
It's always good to start with Basic('s) at my eighth grade,
However I hardly remember anything! Point(,) in csharp translates to Location(,) I believe...

I dont know how to measure the popularity of programming language .
I learned C and C++ at first.I hope its still among the popularity list.
Thanks and Regards,
