I started programming with a turning machine emulator from a
philosophy class in college typing "1" and "0" over and over and over.
After that I went on to Pascal. Once I switched into computer
science just about every csc class I had in college used c++ as a
teaching language.
After that every language seemed easy to learn......just a matter of
putting in the time.
The only exception was LISP( I was an emacs junkie in school ).
The conceptual nature was okay, I just didn't function well with all
of those nested brackets.
