AutoHotKey was my first programming language, years and years ago on my couple hundred dollar laptop. It wasn't much, but it was definitely a great introduction to basic CS concepts (if statements, loops, functions, etc.).

I remember using it to automate login for a variety of websites, and to automate resource collection for a game I played (Lord of Ultima, in case anyone remembers it).
