I started some time in early 7Os with COBOL ..... picked up FORTRAN later on - then it all went downhill from there - back in 79, or there abouts, I was President of the Uni of Qld Computing Club - and several fools started a challenge to learn (to be able to explain how the language worked, read the code and explain what was happening, and do simple coding!) as many languages as possible - the others gave up when I had at least one for almost every letter of the alphabet... So many - including lots of 'assemblers' etc, that I started to organise the languages by the 'type' - eg object oriented, assembler, list processing (LISP), data query (SQL, etc), high level descriptinv (B-NF),simulation (Simula), and that cool thing that the astronomer made up... :-)

Fortunately time has healed much, and I have forgotten most of all that nonsense.... :-)
