I started with Burroughs Extended Algol around 1970. I also learned and 
professionally used Pascal, Fortran, Cobol, various Basics, assembly 
languages, C, ... First experience with Ada in mid-1980's IIRC, with DEC 
Ada on MicroVAX. Currently doing Ada professionally, both in my day job 
(spacecraft on-board SW, since about 1995) and in my own side business 
(program analysis tools).
