IIRC I learned C first.

The compiler was ICC on OS/2 Warp 3.

Thanks man! but I guess there must be a reason to what Tidbit has just said. Else, I suggest you to register and send me a PM if you would like to have a private conversation.

Tidbit, Thanks!

Coming the long way ...

1. Fortran77 (Who can remember?)
2. Pascal

I remember. We had to feed the computer with punch cards. ...good times... :lol:

Yea, I'm kinda surprised that there aren't more people on here who hark back to that era.

First languages were FORTRAN IV and IITRAN on a IBM 360, later upgraded to a Univac 1108 and all programmed with a deck of Hollerith cards.

I wonder how the performance of those machines compares with the performance of a Raspberry Pi?

Hi, Community,
to mention some old arts:
My first programming language was COBOL, followed by PL/I (both IBM-Host), later in PC times came C, all these languages accompanied by batch, shell, JCL. Today there are Java and all the other web stuff. In private I use AHK.
Have a nice day,
Klaus

My first programming languages were COBOL and Assembler, followed by REXX (all IBM-Host), later in PC times came Basic, C, all these languages accompanied by batch, shell, JCL. Today there are Java and all the other web stuff. I use AHK in private and for many, many little tasks in my job.

My school refused me Computer Science owing to my very poor score in Mathematics.

(If you don't count very basics of HTML at 1998 or so.)

My first language was C. Maybe 2000. Without a hint what I am doin'.
With the original book The Programming Lanuguage C (first edition) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie

But all that without a computer! Think what you want, but after the book, I couldn't program anything. No wonder. . It was a time, before the internet was popular and widely available. After a headcrunsh and buying a computer, I searched for years for the right programming language, learned and tried a lot of basic stuff (not 'BASIC', I mean 'simple') in many languages. Someday, I found AutoHotkey... and the story begins. :lol:

In my school time, we did not have computers and no programming lessons.

My first language i learned? Dutch
And for programming Motorola 6800 assembly with myself as assembler using a hex display and keyboard

[hd0202]

... using a hex display and keyboard

Do I understand, you used KIM1? Me too in 1976. Compile by paper and pencil :!:
