I started programming at 10. I think I was just the right age to start programming, for me. It was HP 2000A BASIC, on a Model 33 teletype, over a 110 baud acoustic coupler modem, to the TIES system (which was a HP mini computer).
I learned BASIC, then I learned 6502 assembly, then Pascal, FORTRAN, C, 68000 assembly, C++, C#. I also learned many other languages along the way, but only for fun, or experimenting, or strictly academically.
As I look to the future, I think FP languages (like OCaml, F#, Haskell, Elm) and custom DSL languages will become dominate (so tools like JetBrains MPS are way ahead of the curve).
But there will still be plenty of need for programmers who are knowledgable in the current popular languages (JavaScript, Java, C#, C, C++, et cetera) well into the future.
