I haven't been programming long, month or so.
I started with c#.
Reason: I played Conquer Online, Private server Source's were programmed, well the majority were, everyone around me seemed to be using it.
So i've looked around and for some reason i just like c#. It's logical, C++, in my opinion, just seems to be messy. I guess that's because i started with c#.

What was your first language and why?
Whats your favourite language and why?

This makes me really old, but my first language was Spectrum BASIC

Favourite is a close call, for RAD I use VB.NET, for more technical stuff its C#

VB (1991) is actually newer than C++ (1980) , and C# and VB.NET (2001) are actually the as old as each other!

Mine has to be JavaScript. Why? Well...

- It allows for extremely rapid development.
- Supports console inputs and outputs for quick testing without altering the main codebase.
- Typical computer users spend the majority of their time in a browser.
- It's pretty fast.
- While the syntax is somewhat loose, it still supports great features like ternary operators, data type declarations and variable globalisation.
- It's entirely object oriented.
- New features are supported fairly quickly in modern browsers.

C++ is mainstream because it's near enough perfect. If that's seriously the reason you don't use it then you're an idiot. While you're at it might as well go for the full 'hipster' by purchasing some fake, thick rimmed glasses and become a vegan for no reason.

My first language was C#, but after learning a couple other languages my favorite has to be C++. I really enjoy the freedom of unmanaged code.

My first language was VB, though I am actually starting to notice problems with Java, though it is still a very respectable language it has lost it's place as favorite in my heart. Right now I would say even though I don't exactly perfectly know C++ it is my favorite. It has some amazing capabilities compared to .net languages and java, and python as well.

I got into programming through java. I love java, it's fun, easy, and understandable.
The first class I took was VB.net which I couldn't stand.
I'm currently in C#/XNA, which I love. It's fun, understandable, and I'm good at it.
