This isn't the place for me to reminisce about the many languages I've dabbled in (or been forced to use) over the years. Since the first computer I got to use daily in my lab (e.g., not handing punched card decks over the counter of our computer center) was a PDP-11/20 when it first came out, naturally I stand by DEC's Assembler and later MACRO-11.
The project couldn't afford a DEC-Tape drive so all the DEC software and my own programs had to be loaded from punched paper tape...again...and again...and again. At least we had a "high speed" paper tape reader/ punch.
What I like most about Rust is its name. I'm reminded of it every morning when I get up and see my aging body in the mirror.

Kent
