I have a question for the wise old man

What was the first language you programmed in and what kind of machine was it on?

>With age comes wisdom...
With age comes senility. Wisdom is simply how many mistakes you've accumulated over the years.

>What was the first language you programmed in and what kind of machine was it on?
PDP-1 assembler on the PDP-1
