RE: What Was Your First Programming Language?
Started my programming career with RPL/RPN on the 28S in '92.
Basically, it was not allowed to use programmable calcs and my engineering studies at school, but my teacher told me to safely ignore the "rules". As he put it; "If you manage to program the calc and get the correct results, then you understand the formulaes, topics and concepts being taught." My very first "real" program was made in DOS. It was a series of lines in hex code that I wrote (or better transcribed from a magazine) in DOS Edit and then run the debug command to make a file that renamed directories in DOS. As you probably know, DOS had no spesific command to rename directories, as Unix had. Not unlike what you see here: DOS Debug command Later on, I tried GWBasic (DOS 6.22), Visual Basic (Win 95), which I found dull, and moving to C++ Today, I'm getting my feet wet with Pascal, as it helps me in programming HPPL (Prime) and Lisp (Maxima). RPL for my 28S, 50G and 35S is of course also within my programming "portfolio". C++ never lost it's ground, as I use that for my Arduinos and also PHP-coding of web-pages.
