I have to admit that APL was the first language I learnt. The school I went to in Montreal had a dial up connection to IP Sharp, and in grade 8 (first year high school) I was introduced to the joys of computing. I don't think we had any classes in it, it was just there for us to use and teach ourselves and each other.
A few years later we also had access to an APL PC; the IBM 5100 (although I don't really recall which model it was).
A few years later the school acquired an HP microcomputer, some thing in the 9800 family; BASIC, built in tape drive and a card reader.
In university I first was exposed to SP/K a series of subsets of PL/1, then PL/C a dialect of PL/1. After that came PASCAL, C and a myriad of other languages.
