Idk man. I started with BASIC on the CPC 464. Then moved over to the C64 and ASM. I believe it was good starting so low level. At times I had to type in the actual machine code to program. When you're young your mind is very capable of learning. The more complex the better. The lower level the better.

Although a former co-worker said in a break-chat that it's best to learn something from both sides top down and bottom up. I'm just not sure how that would work.
