My first language was BASIC, on a TRS-80 and a BBC Micro. Then came Pascal (Turbo Pascal on MS-DOS). I learned C in grad school in a physics department. I successfully avoided learning Fortran ever. But I'm told Fortran 2003 onwards is not so bad.

Fortran certainly is interesting these days. Many modifiers are available to fine tune exactly what you mean (instead of C's "eh, something sane or UB" coin flip). Of course, discovering the modifiers is troublesome at times and with umpteen ways to spell things, the "best" way feels more like C++ subsetting arguments if one cared enough to argue about it.
