I went from FORTRAN to

BASIC to

COBOL to

BAL to

Turbo Pascal (and DR Pascal) to

C to

Visual BASIC to

C#.

I don't remember what order, but I think it was COBOL, Basic, Fortran, Pascal, Assembly Language, then Basic Plus 2. The only one that gave me heart burn was Assembly Lang. Didn't stay programming for very long after I graduated college. I think it would have been interesting to dabble in some of the other languages.

Started with DEC Basic-Plus, then did DG’s mini-computer version of COBOL, then 8080 Assembler code and FORTRAN in college.

After college, did APL, VAX COBOL, VAX VMS, C/C++, UNIX scripts, and PL/SQL. Used VMS’ recursion properties to write a full-screen editor for VMS scripts in VMS...

Now, any “coding” is Excel or VBS scripts, generally...
