I seem to be a very old person here... 
My first language was Algol 60 in 1975-1976. The second one was Fortran (IV and CERN editions) in 1976.

Join the club (Geriatric Programmers United). Apart from some stats work on a KDF9 using Autocode in the mid 60s, Algol 60 was the first language I earned my bread and butter with. That would be in 1968. I also used some NEAT assembler to drive a 24bit parallel interface we had designed and build, to connect a 250kW alternator up for real time analysis. All good stuff in those days.
I am well past retirement age, but am still earning my bread and butter at the same game. Though now it's C++, PHP, JavaScript and the like. She Who Must be Obeyed thinks I should retire, but I still enjoy it too much (the programming, that is).

Here's another OM.
I started programming in ALGOL and PL/M to arouse an SBC 80/10, one of Intel's first processor boards. Now it is mostly C++ which I make my bread with.
|
|
|
|
|
It's always good to start with Basic('s)  at my eighth grade,
However I hardly remember anything! Point(,) in csharp translates to Location(,) I believe...
|
|

|

I dont know how to measure the popularity of programming language  .
I learned C and C++ at first.I hope its still among the  popularity list.
Thanks and Regards,

Assembler 8080, Z80 were my first language, I wondering that assembler are in position 22 today 
|
|
|
|
|
22?? I'm also an assembly starter but I hardly believe I could get a good job with it... I loved asm and reverse engineering too.

My first was "KDF9 Mercury autocode", but then Algol 60 became available and what a revelation Algol68 was when it arrived (so many new ways to do things wrong).

This is one of the worst constructed polls I've seen here, and that's scaping the barrel.
1. There is no list of the 20 most popular languages.
2. The Tiobe list is skewed to languages popular now.
3. It provides no meaningful information to anyone.
Try harder next time.

"2. The Tiobe list is skewed to languages popular now"
Isn't that the point?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although, with that point in mind, maybe it would have been easier to ask folk their age?

Quote: or the sake of the survey we'll use this list as our Top 20
Feel free to send in your poll suggestions anytime, Rob.

Ah, I just noticed that "this" was a link - it didn't exactly stand out. Maybe there's a requirement to make links stand out a bit more there.

Me old too. Learn COBOL then Fortran, Basic (on a teletype 33), Assembler (Burroughs Medium Systems, B263, Z80), ALGOL, SDL/UPL, C, C++, sjioasr.. Sorry, no longer can type. Hands hurt from knuckles dragging on ground. Must go hunt meat.

But the first language I did in uni was Java.

0. Surely the question was which language you learned first, not the language you used to write your first language.
1. How many languages have you finished?
|
|
|
|
|
I learned C language first.
So far i learned 6 languages (C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#.NET)
|
|
|
|
|
FORTRAN IV then COMPASS (COMPrehensive ASSembler) for Contral Data Corporation mainframes
|

sounds familiar...that was my path too...even to the CDC machines
