One of the first 4GL languages (DOS) - completely integrated with BTRIEVE. Fast and simple to use.

Ah, Btrieve... I wrote a software for a video rental chain back in the early 1990s - in PowerBASIC for DOS - that also used Btrieve as its database engine.
(Why do I get the feeling that this thread is turning into that Gary Larson cartoon "The Old Spider's Home" from THE FAR SIDE?)

Who has the earliest exposure?

My bid is 1967 - using miniGOL which was a subset of ALGOL - on a computer in the Physics School of Sydney University.

I don't remember what the computer was - I think they had just transitioned to a commercial box from their earlier home grown Silliac

Input was via an old-fashioned typewriter that was jury-rigged to a paper tape punch - which sat in the old valve room of the Silliac.

Every so often the typewriter keys would jam and you had to reach in and drag them apart.

Debugging was literally by cut and splicing the paper tape.

You win. My earliest had a keypunch machine (1968) at Queens U in Kingston Canada (IBM machine).
But really, does anyone want to win this?

I guess hemisphere is not a factor in aging. If it was, I would join you for a beer. Wishing you well.

What an extensive list but missing the most important one Java. I've settled on that for now.

Have you forgotten that?
Strg + Alt + Entf

the most important thing in coding is to always find the short way.
i don't use CRTL + ALT + DELETE because those are 3 actions. to much!
i just pull the power cord out => 1 action!

You started coding with Basic on an Amstrad, then moved into electronics and programming with Quick Basic and Visual Basic. Exploring web development with ASP, PHP, JavaScript, and ColdFusion, you took a break due to stress. Now, you're excited to get back into programming, especially for smartphones, and have found B4X as a beginner-friendly option.

I've a little bits of experience in programming. I have learned coding VB6.0 and B4X from VB6.0 Thai books and B4X Experts'code. I've tried to study how they code and save the knowledges in Thai.

As long as we're talking about old stuff, I worked with the guy who found the first computer bug (a moth) stuck in the vacuum tubes of Grace Hopper's computer in 1947.

But that wasn't me, so it doesn't count.

I count:

Fortran 77
Basic (PDP-10)
Basic (Vax/VMS)
Cobol
Snobol
Algol
Pascal
Basic (TRS-80)
Basic (Sinclair ZX-80)
Basic (Vic20)
Basic (C64)
Modula-2 (Amiga)
C++ (PC / Borland) - gag
Ada
Ada95 (ObjectAda)
Java - also gag
VBA
VBScript
B4X - the best
