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?

Also started with Mindstorms! Went from the visual programming language to using NQC which was a c-like compiler for the RCX. From there went on to learn Java, C++, C, Python, Z80 assembly, etc. etc.

Oh yeah, I remember NQC! It went over my head as a kid as far as learning how to write code with it went, but it was such a cool idea to me. Running "real" code on a little LEGO robot.
