I started with qbasic, and used it for many years. Then in college, I learnt c#/java for oop. And because I wanted to write games and do computer graphics, c++ was the only viable choice at the time, so I had to learn it.
Then I kinda settled on my language search, because I could write just anything with c++. And it's like a master language, which makes learning other languages quickly. I had tried go, swift, python and dart, but I always went back to c++.
These days I started to like javascript, because of intensive web programming, but my web server is still in c++ though.
