@henrikjernevad @thejtoken My programming journey is roughly as follows, parentheses indicate dabbling only:

BASIC -> Algol 60 -> (Algol 68) -> (SNOBOL) -> PLS/86* -> (APL) -> C++ -> PL/X* -> Java -> (Haskell) -> Go -> Rust -> Haskell

Favourites are Rust and Haskell, although I loved C++ at the time.

@henrikjernevad @thejtoken My formal specification journey is as follows, parentheses indicate dabbling only:

CDL -> SEDL -> Z -> B-Toolkit -> FDR2 -> (TLA+)

CDL (Common Design Language) and SEDL (Software Engineering Design Language) were IBM internal languages. CDL was taught in the Software Engineering Workshop that was rolled out across IBM. SEDL was a superset of Ada!
B-Tool's specification language was Abstract Machine Notation.
FDR2 was based on CSP.

@henrikjernevad @thejtoken And to complete the thought, here's my natural language journey:

English -> French -> Russian -> (Polish) -> Ancient Greek -> (Modern Greek) -> (Welsh) -> Spanish -> (Hebrew)

@underlap @henrikjernevad Impresionante, just to check a little bit your Spanish 😉
