BASIC, Pascal, and C in school. BASIC was because it was the first I picked up. Pascal was more organized. C operates in the same manner as I do.

C and Go the last few years. Go makes quick solutions possible. I'm not a coder, just need some glue at times. C is still the go-to for microcontrollers (in my world).

I was quite thankful to be exposed to AmigaBASIC and QuickBASIC that led me into more structured programming than earlier line based BASICs. That really helped make the transition to C and Turing easier.
