I learned BASIC, COBOL, then Pascal and FORTRAN simultaneously, then PL/I and IBM 360 (yep, that long ago) Assembly Language. My favorite language is still Pascal though I have never seen it used outside the educational community.
I once worked for a company where a fair amount of their software was originally written in Pascal.
I have progammed over half a million lines of FORTRAN on a VAX 11/780 using DEC's Fortran-77 and a few thousand lines of VAX assembly.
Okay, that's a few more than I've done on the same machine.
I've taught college-level courses in BASIC, PASCAL, COBOL, FORTRAN, and PL/I.
Since this seems to have turned into "post your resume":
I have taught at least BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, APL, and assembly language. Never taught Pascal, but I wrote a manual for it. Written a program or two or several in PL/I, Algol, LISP, RPG, and probably some others I have forgotten. In addition to some of the usual stuff (VB, VC++, assembler) and the Visual FORTRAN I've mentioned before, I have Smalltalk on this machine but I've yet to get around to doing anything with it . . .

Almighty Ruler of the all, Whose Power extends to great and small, Who guides the stars with steadfast law, Whose least creation fills with awe, O grant thy mercy and thy grace, To those who venture into space.
(Robert A. Heinlein's added verse to the Navy Hymn)
