What Was The First Programming Language You Ever Learned?

[Deleted member 44219]

When I first started programming, It was on a kids game called ROBLOX and it used a modified version of the Lua scripting language called RBXLua. What was your first language

HTML and CSS was the first followed by JavaScript. And still learning to the point that I'm rubbish at it

C++ would have been my first. Although I've long forgotten more than I've learned by this point. HTML/CSS would follow with a little Java.

Good old C++... Before they added many kinds of pointers and what-not.
I'm not looking forward to having to memorise all of those.

I remember watching a video, incidentally by Facebook, who no one likes which went over all the weird subtle bugs from all these things they recently added to the standard library and all the gotchas you've got to memorise.

Apparently, no one there actually knows how the smart pointers work or where to use them causing a lot of bugs.

Why most picked C++ for there first then others then. I didn't started and yet still haven't got into it. Interested but maybe that's how it is.

After I learned a bit of RBXLua(ROBLOX Lua), I quit ROBLOX, learned HTML and CSS then Python then Java and now C

First I learned was Java, and then learned C++, Python, Ruby, and now working with some Perl.

I may look antique to you, guys, because my first programming language was for the mainframe, an IBM System 370. I took up Assembler language and then COBOL in IBM Philippines. I was working in a bank and I was even promoted to systems programmer before I left for abroad. If you have heard of the punch cards that uses the Hollerith code, well, I had an experience with the keypunch machine. The disks were called disk packs because they were large and heavy with 70 mb of storage. The gigabyte was not invented yet. The memory of our computer was only 144 KB but we were running online with our 32 branches. Isn't that a great experience?

That is amazing considering that the computer that you mentioned(IBM System 370) is some amazing bits of ancient technology. And not to mention that with only 144 KB and 32 branches actually sounds like fun. I've heard that Assembly is used in a lot of things such as Linux. Must have been fun.
