Easy to say. My first "computer" was a ZX81 and the only language available
was BASIC! My second computer was an Amstrad CPC464 and the only language
available at this time was BASIC... well Turbo Pascal was ported to this
computer but it was costing a lot, I bought it, I know!

Of course today there is many more options and one can avoid BASIC.

Pascal.
