I started programming in 1970 with ALGOL60 in Göttingen on an IBM 7040
and have since then use many programming languages.
I use to say: ''Writing good programs is possible in any language; in some, it is easier. Writing bad ones likewise.''

== Languages I have used extensively in former days ==
* '''[[C++]]''' : Has its use fields, but rather complicated and verbose if not used daily
* '''[[Fortran|FORTRAN IV]]''' : First language
* '''[[ALGOL 60]]''' : My first one
* '''[[360 Assembly]]''' : Good with macros; a bit tricky sometimes
* '''[[Pascal]]''' : Broadly available, not so tricky
* '''[[Java]]''' : Best availability and rather secure, but a bit laborious for small tasks
* '''[[Prolog]]''' : Could not exploit its promises to me
* '''[[COBOL]]''' : Verbose, but very good for commercial programming
* '''[[Forth]]''' : Terse and efficient, but it is hard to understand programs after years
== Languages I try to avoid ==
* '''[[Perl]]''' : Much to tricky
* '''[[APL]]''' : Only if daily used
