Hello mark!

I would say I am similar case (starting with Basic and Asm (Mons3/Gens3) on zx
spectrum) and then Pascal (scale of Borland products and then Delphi). That
time C++ was too "objective" for me ;-)

But I do not program in my job.

Understand your point. (I just thought about one factor and this is also to
live on that.)

Somebody else said is just syntax/language. If guy could be good programmer or
"not so good" - it does not matter which language he used.

I can (also) say going from asm/basic to pascal is easier. I can confirm that
to orient in bash, python, perl was (maybe only for me) esier.
