Well, I'd have to say... Hmm... Toughie. I've actually never coded in Basic, any of them. I started out with batch files, then I tried various other crap, can't remember - oh yea! I was downloading extensions for C++ when I didn't even know what C++ was

I've tried Java, but never coded something, because the compilers I always downloaded were trials, and never gave me enough time to learn. And I've tried Java IDE's like NetBeans or something, and that was horribly slow, so I gave up with that. Then I tried ASM as I was learning batch files :p I created an application that did NOTHING... And that was the end of that! I used GoAsm

Then, I found AutoIt. Which was the best boost I'd ever gotten in computers. Because I'd have to say, after that, I had a few tough times with C++, but all the loops, and a lot of other stuff in C++ came easy thank god. But the way that AutoIt is heading, I would have gone back and just wrote in AutoIt coding...
