Poll: What was the first programming language you learned?

I remember figuring out how to make a turtle graphics sailboat, faking the curved surfaces by stepping a bit then turning a bit.

Pascal

Where's Assembler in the list :) I loved me some MASM. Did no one learn this in the late 80's early 90's? It must still be used a lot for embedded systems ...

What I liked about it was a) it was hard and made you really really think about what you where doing (in terms of memory and CPU usage) as you where in total control of both at all times and there was often no abstraction (well unless you wrote in binary I suppose). b) it was super tedious and required keeping a lot of code in your head at one time so when moving to say C/C++ it made you review your code with some sympathy of how it will run and how to optimise it (say rolled and unrolled loops etc). When things went wrong in C you could look at the produced ASM and understand perhaps why.

Do I miss it? Heeeeeellll no!

ActionScript <3. ActionScript 2 to 3, C#, C++ and then most recently JS/HTML, PHP and mySQL. What a strange path.

TI-86 Basic! Turns out ticalc.org is still hosting games I uploaded in the late 90's, impressive.
