First language was Pascal, since I was still learning at the time. Transitioned to PIC assembly and then C from there.
My favorite language to program in would have to be C, maybe C++ if I stick to general C-style syntax (aka not using many of the features of C++). It just looks very nice and easy to read for me. Even if more modern languages (learning Python atm) read easier, I spent so much time in C that reading it became easy for me. I actually don't really care for OOP since most of the programs I have to write are smaller in scale (usually embedded systems).
Well it does say that he developed it as a way to use the desk calculators faster, rather than actually in the study of crystals. Probably just came up with the algorithm to save some time doing tedious calculations.
