I know that I'm gonna be outclassed here, but I taught myself BASIC,
ALGOL, and FORTRAN (ugh! well, it was WATFOR then WATFIV) from my school
days in the late 60s onwards.
COBOL tried to be drilled into me, but I firmly rejected it (but for some
odd reason I still know it, but deny all knowledge of it).
