      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:

        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.

        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!

                        English and IBM BASIC. God I hated programming in that language, though I think the instructor ("Just use a goto!") had more to do with that than anything. I then learned FORTRAN and the sky became blue and all was right with the world. Now mostly C++, assembly (MIPS), with some C#.

                                There's not too many MIPS assembly programmers out there. I wonder how much do you know and how much time do you have? I wonder these things because I have a JIT assembler about to go live as a Code Project article. It's a reasonable OO design divided between generic base classes and x86 sub classes. Any one really familiar with MIPS assembly and reasonable with C++ could follow the pattern used for x86 and add MIPS support for the low level assembler at least. Let me know if you're interested.

I wonder these things because I have a JIT assembler about to go live as a Code Project article. It's a reasonable OO design divided between generic base classes and x86 sub classes. Any one really familiar with MIPS assembly and reasonable with C++ could follow the pattern used for x86 and add MIPS support for the low level assembler at least. Let me know if you're interested.

                                        An OO design? What do the classes do? I made a JIT assembler for C#, but the design was basically a 2k LOC "Switch of Doom" with some support functions for ModR/M encoding and such.

                                          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.

                                          English and Tandy Color Computer III BASIC. BASIC -> C -> Assembler -> Pascal -> C++ -> Prolog -> Java -> C# (Not necessarily in this order) With National Instruments' LabVIEW thrown in there too.
