Since my early childhood I was fascinated by computer languages, so I learned Pascal even without being able to practice it. My first computer back in 1996 was a Commodore 16, and with that came Basic and 6502 Assembler on top. With more computers more languages were added, especially script-based languages like Windows Scripting, Visual Basic Script, Visual Basic for Applications, HTML/Javascript, XML/XSLT and most recently PowerShell. About script-based languages I like most that they allow the user to automate repetitive operations and perform them with 100% accuracy.
