>Btw, I started with FORTRAN and IBM 360 Assembly Language.

Well, being a bit younger, I was able to start on early PCs when I was just 
out of high school. (Well, actually, I programmed various programmable 
calculators in high school, but that doesn't really translate to anything 
sensible.) But that meant programming with what what was easily available: 
the Basic that came with the machine. My formal programming education 
started a few months later with FORTRAN IV (it wasn't "Fortran" then).

I agree that the starting language doesn't matter than much; anyone with 
half-a-brain will quickly figure out that you need more than basic 
capabilities to get much done. That's where Ada comes in, at least we hope.
