Without starting a flame war or bashing session... What is the first language you learned: verbal and coding Do you still use either on a regular basis? Why or why not? Canadian English and Commodore BASIC Living in the Southern U.S., I still speak English, but, admittedly, it has been... adjusted to use local terms (Y'all, All y'all, you'n's). I still use BASIC variants (VBA mostly in Excel or third party applications), but haven't used any Commodore products since about the late '90s.
Dutch (my native language) and C++ JavaScript, and later I learnt C++ (but later I switched to C#). I learnt HTML before I learnt JavaScript, however HTML isn't a programming language, but a markup language.

English and C++ English, of course. Rarely C++. I started dabbling in C# about eight years ago and I've loved it ever since. And now I write in-house software for my employer (warehouse environment) so the rapid development and ease of creating data-driven applications is great. I still use C++ when I want to toy around with game development though.

Just to prove Eric right. English and Sinclair BASIC. I've used at least 9 different variants of BASIC over the years but I haven't touched it for a few now. I made the switch to Borland Turbo C++ 0.99 ( The almost perfect version :laugh: ) in 95 and never looked back.

U.S. English and HTML These days I use a lot more VB.NET. (And, yes, I still speak English) BTW: I would have upvoted you but the button won't show up when my mouse is actually present. :doh:

Dutch, and z80 assembly. Still use Dutch, don't really use z80 assembly much, except when I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm too spoiled by other architectures that can add any pair of registers and can shift by more than 1 bit at the time (yes I know about RLD but it sucks) and have multiplication and division instructions.

Assembly as your first programming language? That's pretty hardcore :omg:

I learned German (my mother was German) and English pretty much at the same time as a tyke. My first computer program was written in IBM 1620 assembly language. Now I speak mostly English and Spanish (my wife is Bolivian) and haven't seen an IBM 1620 in a long, long time!
