What made you choose your language(s)?

C++ for me, asked for book on 11th birthday i wanted to code in COBOL before that

[Jason]

Just the first IDE I downloaded, stuck with it ever since

No choice...

C -> C# -> All the rest

At the time... Whatever language was used to hack WarRock. So I started with VB6, and became pretty good at Visual Basic.

I stopped for a few years though, and now VB is patched for WarRock i've started coding c++

Okay then, you can't make hacks for WarRock using VB anymore. They patched it

Well I started out with VB (2005) because it was quite simply the easiest going one I could find a book on. Seemed simple, and wow it was. I loved it for a year or so, I thought I was the bee's knees
Then I tried out a few other languages (such as C++, Java, etc) to see what I could move on to, and hated them all after growing so accustomed to the VS IDE and the whole VB...thing

I stuck with VB for another while, but hated having something so dependent on .NET, and being so...VB. I discovered Delphi while delving into the whole RE thing and fell in love with it. VB got around quite a bit so it wasn't a rough breakup.

I stuck with Delphi for years (and still work with it). My end goal was always to end up coding in C++ as everyone (that I could see) that was worth anything as a coder could at least code SOMETHING in C++.

Only recently have I actually bothered to properly try and learn it, and I'm quite enjoying myself.

Yes really, that is the short version of the story


tl;dr: VB -> Try Everything -> VB -> Delphi -> C++ -> C++/Delphi

C++, got a book for my 9th birthday(didnt ask for it)

[Alen]

I wanted to make a proper webpage, learned html, php and sql.

html + php + sql --> java + asp --> html5 (if anyone really got into it they know why it's here) --> c++ + python

That's more or less how I go through my lanuguages. I gave VB a shot but it was just ewww so I quit after my first spammer. And I pride on never using v* after that

By now I know the html(5)+css(3)+js+php+sql manuals and sheets backwards already, still working on my java, I kinda dumped asp for personal projects (trying to do everything in php). C++ is mainly in use with my linux programs, python for school stuff and competing with friends (not all of them know c++).

I'm not sure actually..

Tbh I'd call that pretty lucky, not what many kids would want, but extremely useful if your interested in it.

Started with Action Script. Played in it for an year and a half and loved it. Then moved to C. Was pretty similar to Action Script. Then used VB 6 and used it till I found VB.NET. Chose VB.NET as a final language and stick to it. The main reason for choosing VB is laziness. Not that I like its syntax but pure laziness. I really love C++ but CBF to learn it !!

Well I'm not sure why I chose C++ as my first.. But I chose assembly because it's low level, and knowing it makes you look badass.

And C# because C++ & assembly are time consuming when it comes to making a window application, even though I hardly know C#. Plus it's very similar to C++. \:

Started in DOS, made some sorta virus that freezes the comp.

Then to batch, but I got bored of it super-quick.

Then VB.NET, and I kinda stick with it now.

I CBF to learn C++, but I make occasional releases.
