QBasic
1994–1995
This is where I started. Taught myself some Basic before learning Pascal in school.
Turbo Pascal
1995–
My second language after basic. My first steps OOP.
Delphi
1998–
From Turbo Pascal to Delphi. Was kind of cool with the visual GUI editing. Had to use it in University (old Professor, next year they switched to Java) to program on the blackboard. With chalk. Not kidding!
Javascript
1998–
JS has seen a great revival and will continue to step into the limelight. With Apple & Google pushing hard to make it extremely fast and node.js & capuccino et al there is a lot of potential.
C
2001–2002
Every programmer should have used C to understand the basic concepts of types, memory management and pointers.
Java
2001–2003
Loved it back then in University, coming from Delphi. Don’t like it now, after years in “scripting” languages. Feels so overblown and clunky.
Prolog
2002
Maybe if I had had a good professor in university I would have got it…
TeX
2003–2004
Wrote my diploma thesis in LaTex and had a job as typesetter for a while.
bash
2003–
Essential tool for any computer/OS with a decent command line.
PHP
2003–
Not a good language, but gets the job done and pays my bills atm.
Ruby
2005–
A beautiful, elegant and expressive language. Period.
Python
2008–
Don’t like e.g. global functions instead of OOP and the mandatory spacing stuff is just weird. Ruby is much nicer.
