My first computer was an Apple II, so the language I learned after I got sick of playing with the evil BASIC, was 6502 assembly (remember Woz's "Mini-Assembler"). All of the mnemonics were neat three-letter acronyms so I also tended to see them on license plates back then. I haven't done any programming in a long time, and it's been mostly scripting languages if anything.
