FORTRAN next?
Shut yer whore mouth. I learned FORTRAN in undergrad.
Spent 40 straight hours in the computer lab once (back when you had to go to one of these) trying to debug a program that even some grad students couldn’t figure out. Finally converted it to hex and found a hidden control character that must have been typed in with clumsy fingers. (At least it wasn’t punch cards, I guess.) Vowed I would never be a CS major.
I have taught myself to be functional in VBA. Plenty functional for my purposes.

you haven't lived until you've dropped all your carefully programmed and sorted punch cards into a pile on the floor en route to feeding them into the mainframe...
