Assembler 8080, Z80 were my first language, I wondering that assembler are in position 22 today

22?? I'm also an assembly starter but I hardly believe I could get a good job with it... I loved asm and reverse engineering too.

My first was "KDF9 Mercury autocode", but then Algol 60 became available and what a revelation Algol68 was when it arrived (so many new ways to do things wrong).

This is one of the worst constructed polls I've seen here, and that's scaping the barrel.
1. There is no list of the 20 most popular languages.
2. The Tiobe list is skewed to languages popular now.
3. It provides no meaningful information to anyone.
Try harder next time.

"2. The Tiobe list is skewed to languages popular now"
Isn't that the point?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although, with that point in mind, maybe it would have been easier to ask folk their age?

Quote: or the sake of the survey we'll use this list as our Top 20
Feel free to send in your poll suggestions anytime, Rob.

Ah, I just noticed that "this" was a link - it didn't exactly stand out. Maybe there's a requirement to make links stand out a bit more there.

Me old too. Learn COBOL then Fortran, Basic (on a teletype 33), Assembler (Burroughs Medium Systems, B263, Z80), ALGOL, SDL/UPL, C, C++, sjioasr.. Sorry, no longer can type. Hands hurt from knuckles dragging on ground. Must go hunt meat.

But the first language I did in uni was Java.

Started My first Language in C

0. Surely the question was which language you learned first, not the language you used to write your first language.
1. How many languages have you finished?
|
|
|
|
|
I learned C language first.
So far i learned 6 languages (C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#.NET)
|
|
|
|
|
FORTRAN IV then COMPASS (COMPrehensive ASSembler) for Contral Data Corporation mainframes

sounds familiar...that was my path too...even to the CDC machines

The FIRST program I ever CHANGED was on a plugboard for an IBM 407 Accounting Machine (check it out in Google) when I was about 5. My dad brought the board home so he could work on a "program" he was "writing", and he left it in his den along with a bunch of wires. I came along and plugged some wires in and took some out, and took the wires to the living room to show Dad. He asked if I got the wires from the board or off the desk. I told him, and we had a discussion about it. It would be like if someone added lines of code to your program and took some out.
Later, when I was in high school, he and I took a class on RPG (Report Program Generator) on an IBM 360. Don't remember ANYTHING about the language, though I DID place a piece of tissue paper in the card deck to mark the place to fix something. Of course I forgot about that piece of paper until it royally jammed the card reader and the instructor found the remains.
From there it was BASIC, Fortran, assembly, TESLA, C, and onwards.

To say that it is "acceptable" to say "Yes, my language I learned on is in the top 20 list" when that language was BASIC, and that a variant allowable is BASIC ==> Visual Basic is:
WRONG!!
BASIC is *NOT* Visual Basic is *NOT* BASIC.
CHEATERS!

I program for a hobby. Yeah, I know, insane pick for a hobby. I tell people, "that's how I got this hair line". I'm bald.
I started out on 6502(Commadore64) Basic and Assembly. Well unless you want to count the little bit I did on a thing called the "Wang 3000 Desktop Calculator" with it's 360 available programming steps and all in Assembly Language. Then to MS/BASIC => GW-BASIC => Quick BASIC and that's where the similarity ends. When BASIC was taken to a compiled/Object oreinted style the whole world of basic changed drastically.
It took me several attempts, several books and a few years to "get it".
IMHO
There is no connection from an interpreted / proceedural language to a Compiled / OOP Language!

I voted no, because my first language was BASIC, and I don't consider it to be much like Visual Basic. Also, in the top 20 list, it was clear that Visual BASIC was not considered the same thing as BASIC either.
To iterate is human, to recurse divine.
