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.

Portuguese (born and raised in Portugal) In school first learned Pascal, later C, COBOL and VB. First work was in Delphi, loved it and used it until i met C#. Meanwhile attended University (Night school) where i learned C++ and Java TL;DR Portuguese; Pascal

Brummie English and Algol60. Actually I'd done some programming on whatever language WITCH used when I was at Wolverhampton CAT in '65 but that may not count. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harwell_computer[^]

Probably something new here: My first verbal language was Swiss-German (and it still is). I'm also pretty good at English and use it for pretty much anything related to my developer activities. The first programming language I really knew was PL/1 on z/OS. That was 2008. Thanks to the Swiss educational system and the company I took my apprenticeship, I could work on Mainframes for two and a half years. I also got to know a little COBOL, C and REXX. In the second half of this apprenticeship i got to know Java and then C# which I'm using on a daily basis now. Lately though, we're also using a lot of JavaScript.

Malay and a BASIC variant [no idea which] The Malay was because as a baby we had a Malay Nanny and I spent more time with her than anyone so my first words were Malay. No, I cannot remember a single word of it now. :-D BASIC is still there, but I try not to use. I do do a bit of VB work, but never by choice.

Is there any point to this question? (given 90% responding with English and BASIC)
I am part of the other 10%. Spanish and Assembler ;P

Spanish and 68000 Assembler and C. My first project was for the Commodore Amiga 1000, using C, Assembler and AmigaBasic. I am not sure which one was my first programming language.
Do not look at the past. It no longer exists. Do not live thinking in the future, it does not exist at this moment. Only exists the present. Live it remembering the past to avoid mistakes and with the promise of the future as motivation.

Italian and Pascal. I don't use Pascal anymore (currently I use C#, Java and C++ depending on the project), and slowly I'm abandoning Italian language too, since I moved from Italy to the UK.

Let's see: Canadian English and I believe it was Fortran in high school for the first computer language. Don't think I ever used it after that though. Prefer coding in C# these days. mvarey
