Started off with AutoIt, then VB6, then PHP. Not the smartest route but today I'm using Ruby, C#, SQL, F# and JS/frontend. All through the first few languages I heard people bashing each and every one for various reasons.. However I built a range of tools at a young age including a file encrypter, a website complete with authentication and user management, an online shop and a game "bot".
If I hadn't mucked around the way I did, I don't think I'd have the breadth of knowledge on networking, protocols, assembly, file formats and authentication I do today. I probably wouldn't have gotten into security either.
