    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 VB6. I never learned another spoken language completely, so I'm still using English. I haven't touched VB6 since I learned C++ (and actually learned to program, rather than copying code I didn't understand from a book).

                  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.

                    English and Hindi in equal measure. LEO III assembler and Intercode (some years later).

                              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!

                                          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.
