Well

Started with Pascal, C and Assembly back in the mid 80:s and went to 
Philips later acquired by SAAB to start build a new generation of 
Command And Control Systems written in Ada and have been there since 
then. So now days i am using Ada, C, C++, Java, Python, Go, Make, Word, 
Excel, and many more to build systems but the main language is Ada.

And as a side track because we needed it i got involved in

some 6 ago.
