Apple ][ basic was the first for me.  Scheme was my first college-sponsered 
language.  I didn't take any to heart except that first basic, C, and then, 
much later, Java.

Ouch.  Ada.

For the benefit of the young-uns:

The C Programmer: Most commonly seen waving a piece of paper around saying
"I bet you can't guess what this does"
The Lisp Programmer: 43,42,41,40,39,38, Where's that missing paren...
The ADA Programmer: Found in a corner reading the manual to decide if it is
legal to add two integers.
