The weird one was Modula 2. It was the language used to teach programming in the first year at university. Then I got a job programming it commercially in the summer between 2nd and 3rd year.
I could have put Miranda down as well, one the same suspicious basis as VectraMan, but that would have enabled people to identify my university...
...oops.
And no - the lambda-calculus doesn't count as a programming language.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
