How'd you get into programming? (self.programming)

Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?

Think it went, starting in the late 90s: Basic -> C++ -> Java -> C -> Ruby -> Java -> Python -> Nim.

No professional ambition and never got particularly proficient. Enjoy making code that does something I need it to do.
