C++, Java, Groovy, C#, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Smalltalk, Objective-C, *86 Assembly, and played around with Go, Swift, Lisp and Haskell

oh, and Visual Basic!!!

I didn't say JavaScript is all anyone needs for every situation, just that it's great imo.

I started off developing in C, then C++. Then I did Java (late 90's till 2010 or so). I toyed around with PHP and perl somewhere in between. I love modern Javascript, and would be hard pressed to go back to something else.
