My first was Matlab. Most used is probably python, and then you get into my professional niche, VHDL, C, TCL.

    C then NASM assembly, enjoyed poking around in how programs worked using hex editors and disassemblers, chasing strings to be offensive. Then decided I wanted to learn how to actually make the programs, and I’d heard how fast C and Assembly were, so off I went.

      I’ve dabbled with disassemblers. they are not my friend. Although looking at that low level stuff is probably a good way to learn how to write efficient programs.

        Meh, even now with more background knowledge, I wouldn’t say they’re really good for understanding how programs flow. They’re pretty neat for finding out how a hand-optimized part of code works though.
