This is fascinating! Blows my mind how many computer languages there are out there!

I started programming in 1978, while still in college. At that time, an MIS major was called "Data Processing for Business". Does that date me a bit? In my sophomore year, I was hired to develop and write a system to calculate the local economic indicators for a professor in the Economics Department. That was my first professional job, although I was paid minimum wage for it.
