re: #6 William Lewis

Basic, but always kept an eye on pascal because of it’s sane complaints about basic. Never really _learned_ it. Could write in it if I had to, but I don’t know it the same way I know BASIC or LISP or C or even FORTRAN or (God forbid) COBOL.

I learned FORTRAN and Pascal in college, programmed first using FORTRAN then switched to Pascal. Professionally I never used Pascal, I programmed in FORTRAN, PL/1, Visual Basic (Uccch!!) then classic ASP and VBScript then asp.net and C#.

Now I can’t even remember the command in VBScript to force declaration of variables. LOL good thing I am retired!
