What was your first programming language? Favorite? Least Favorite?

Wow, I didnt expect to see the word COBOL in this thread...
Like many my first experience was with Basic in school. After that it was some VB, C/C++ and Java. I always enjoyed C++ the best (perhaps that was just because it was what most of my classes were based in). Now I am stuck at work doing mostly COBOL coding along with some Java and Javascript. I have been planning on learning Perl and also dusting off the old C books I have, but it has been hard to find enough time to dig in deep.
thane:
My first language was WATFIV-S (a subset of FORTRAN), followed by BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, a little PL/I, and (nowadays) Java. Actually liked Pascal the best (someone once called it a language that requires you to think sideways). PL/I was definitely the worst.

FORTRAN and ALGOL 60 nearly at the same time.
Later I implemented FORTH on many different arhitectures and developped applications. And of course C and assembly.
Currently I'm using mostly Python and PHP. I really love Python!

Fave language has to be FORTH, the implementation on the
Jupiter Ace. Fell in love with that, bigtime. Wrote some very
very unreadable code, too! ???

Really happy to see a FORTH guy on the board.
:D I see I have to submit my FORTH extensions to Jason

I'm always surprised to see no votes for tcl-tk. I used it to re-write virtually all my windoz oo apps.
