I start with BASIC on ZX Spectrum and C64, then QBASIC on MS-DOS, Turbo Pascal, etc.

I feel like it's more friendly and chill way to get into computing than what kids get these days -- too many options, leaky abstractions, etc.

And it's not hard to go from BASIC to assembly to understand how computer work on lower level - BASIC commands only do a little bit of computing at a time, so you get used to it. While Python and JS line of code can do a lot...
