Yes, I was always interested in computers and video games but never thought to try programming until looking at a list of careers and deciding to study CS.

The first language I learned was Java. It’s one of my least favorite languages now but I think it was good enough to learn the fundamentals.

Same! Java was the first language we were taught. I was like, "Wow!" Then we learned C, whereupon I got hooked on that and renounced Java and OOP forever as cringe for reasons I can't fully articulate (apart from the obvious bloat).
