My journey through programming was like this:
BASIC - boring
Assembly - loads and loads of fun and really gnarly to debug and write
FORTRAN - the epitome of discipline and the word "fun" doesn't exist at all
PASCAL - more fun than FORTRAN
C - fun if you like memory leaks and overwriting memory you don't own
C++ - fun if you like the problems with C and the discipline of classes and templates
SQL - fun when you get it working, inconsistent discipline, and like lying on a bed of needles until you get that cool SQL to work correctly and in the end you still are left wondering why it works and what the performance issues are
C# - a good balance between fun and discipline
Ruby - fun if you write it yourself, excruciating pain if you have to read someone else's code
Python - fun when doing fun projects like working with Single Board Computers
Javascript - fun if you write it yourself and are disciplined about it, but beware of murderous impulses when fixing other people's code
Prompted from a chat with a coworker who pointed out:
nowadays, frameworks and languages are opting for fun. The most fun it is to write in that language the better.
And yes, I'm biased, as I love C#.

I might have been a Delphi programmer if it had been more popular. I stopped looking around after C#.

C# became my language of choice fairly early in its career; by version 2.0 certainly; version 3.0 made it my firm favourite.
I first started to find FORTRAN "fun" when Fortran-77 came along. Then the fun was driving my tyrannical boss crazy by using every new feature (especially the ones he didn't understand). He was a badly, self-taught programmer with a huge ego and no actual skill - hs favourite command was the Computed GOTO!
I have been through at least a dozen other languages between then (40+ years ago) and now and C# is the definite winner - although I worry about some of the new changes coming with v9.0.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
