I think one of the best programming languages for kids (let's say around 12 years of age) is LOGO. It seems almost forgotten now but you learn all fundamentals of programming including functions, conditionals, loops and even recursion by drawing images or geometrical shapes. It's not so far from "real" programming and it's fun.

it's used less as a tool to teach programming languages and more so to get kids to think methodically

Been a backend web dev since I graduated uni about 3 years ago, but I want to get back into all of the lower-level stuff that I've completely forgotten after three years of writing java apps that query a database
I had the same problem there user. I feel like uni made me more dumb, either that or I'm just aware of how little I knew.

Still trying to learn Python. Want to get out of wagecuck despite 2 degreez.

But to be honest I started programming more seriously last year, because I switched from Mechanical Enginnering to Computer Science.
The biggest programs I've written are some games in C using Allegro and a instruction disassembler written in MIPS Assembly.

c++, albeit poorly starting out. my dad kinda mentored me, i only picked it up because "woah dude it's the video game language". later moved on to writing c code for hobby projects
>how long
around 10 years

i don't even work a programming job, i only do hobby projects since almost the entirety of the field i enjoy (unless you've already been in the industry for decades) doesn't involve real programming anymore

GML "Game Maker Language" in Game Maker 7/8. Made a couple games, a basic text editor with a couple more features than notepad.
I also made mock-OS's, OP. We called them sub-OS's and I was a part of a few forums where people would share their code and thoughts on others' projects in the various languages they made them in.
>How long since you've started

I do tier 2/3 helpdesk and some low-level sys admin stuff. I'm decent with a bash script and unparalleled in my workplace with PowerShell scripting/programs
