Bandwagon time :P 1. First language: Basic 2. Had difficulties: Prolog, Java 3. Most used: C# 4. Totally hate: Anything skewed towards the weakly typed end of the spectrum 5. Most loved: C# 6. For beginners: Whatever lets you make the fun thing that will keep you programming :)

Haha :) They definitely have their place, I just prefer to spend my time debugging stupid mistakes at compile time or typey typey time instead of at runtime. Some people prefer lots of hard to find bugs, though, and that's absolutely ok! ;)
Yeah I think it's a rite of passage for all programmers using weakly-typed languages to slowly lose their sanity as their program complexity increases and eventually see the trade-off they're making for a "simple" language like Python.
