right. "First Language" is a moving target and it is not something a language wants to have because you get a bunch of really crappy code in that language and it ruins the language's reputation. After the rise of the web in the early 2000s it moved around a bit. Java, PHP, Ruby, Javascript, even Flash sometimes, but now it's generally Python and it's so far bucked the trend and managed to remain respectable. Pascal and BASIC had a grip on that slot probably since the late 1970s through maybe early 2000s. Before that it was Fortran. I did y2k stuff 25 years ago, there's a lot of shit fortran out there. |
