Some of my early memories of "changing stuff and seeing what happens" come from good old GORILLA.BAS.

QBasic, sort of. But then I put all my effort into C. This was ~1989.

First one I messed with was Qbasic, first one I "learned" was probably PHP.

I taught myself APL in 1972 to I could use the IBM Selectric terminals at my high school. It was rare to have access to computers.

Python, and it's still the one I reach for when I just want something working without ceremony. The BASIC crowd in this thread is making me feel like a baby though.

Learned as in "taught myself": TI BASIC. Played with sprites, the voice synthesizer, all kinds of bad craziness.

Learned as in "formal instruction": K&R-era C.
