What was the first programming language you learned?
#4

Javascript was my first scripting language. HTML and MediaWiki were my first markup languages. There's still some code of mine floating around in the MediaWiki engine that was committed when I was a bit younger.

Then PHP, then Perl, then Bash (sorry zsh fans). A "conversational" level of C, but nothing fancy. And, of course, PAWN, which is the language equivalent of a ten-year-old pedal cycle: sure, it'll get you from A to B, but not without breaking a sweat, and you're glad to get back behind the wheel of your car when you're done.

Perl is a massively underrated language, IMO. It's lost a lot of defectors to Python, but I still find it the most beautiful of all the interpreted languages.
