Turbo C++ was one of my favorite C compilers. I probably had an affinity for it because of Turbo Pascal (which eventually turned into Delphi).
I’ve been programming since the mid 1970s (yes, I’m old, but totally young at heart), so here is my list.
Basic, PDPBasic, VAXBasic, C, C++, C# , Lua , Pascal, ObjectPascal, COBOL, ASM, ASP, Fortran, Visual Basic , VB.NET, Java, Javascript, Delphi, JCL, VBScript.
I am sure I am missing a few…
Going down memory lane for a bit…
- I learned so many different BASICs on the 8bits, but lumped it into a single entry.
- The move from procedural to Object Oriented programming was the coolest, but I hated C++, and still do. Love C#.
- Using Lua is quite fun.
- I always loved learning new languages, and some times had to for work (back when I was a professional developer). Lately, I find I stick with Lua and C#.

I loved Turbo C and Turbo C++!
I can’t remember now, but one or both allowed you to run a program, stop it, and then step backwards through execution, essentially rewinding time. Back when CPUs were simple enough for that to be possible.

Here is my list ; started with Assembly (6502, 68000 series, DSP:56001, 80286). Of course Basic ;), then C, lot of C and C++ a little bit of Pascal, C# and LUA. (I know other languages, but not enough to be fast and efficient with them)
I did enjoy a lot working with 68000 series as understanding the compiler and mixing it with assembly was giving us incredible result in term of speed and performance.
