I cut my teeth on C64 Basic*, and then graduated to Pascal, C, C++ and 
x86 ASM in that order.

My career, however, has taken me down a completely different path.  In 
no particular order:

ASP
PHP
Java
C#
VisualBasic
ColdFusion
Javascript
Python

D pretty much replaced all my other interests in terms of hobby 
languages starting over 2 years ago.  So I'm more fluent in D than in 
most other languages at this point.  Before that, I spent a lot of time 
hacking in PHP or C#.

If I had to pick a primary language focus, I'd have to say D is #1, with 
Javascript being a solid #2 as of late thanks to the current "Web 2.0" 
revolution going on out there.

(*I see that I'm not alone here - it's like those things were built to 
train new coders)
