Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I’ve been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y’all? What’s your personal programming path?

  • Think it went, starting in the late 90s: Basic -> C++ -> Java -> C -> Ruby -> Java -> Python -> Nim.

    No professional ambition and never got particularly proficient. Enjoy making code that does something I need it to do.
