    4. ~5 years (if LOGO is counted)
    5. LOGO
    6. Emacs

    What was the first computer you ever worked/played on?

    Commodore 64

    What was the first editor you used to write computer programs?

    Commodore Basic lineeditor - followed by my own 6502 machine code editor ;)

    What programming language did you write your first program in?

    Commodore Basic

    How many days/months/years after you wrote your first program did you learn Lisp?

    about 25 years - wanted to understand emacs configuration, what finally lead to Common Lisp.

    What was your first Lisp?

    elisp, followed by Common Lisp

    Which editor/IDE do you work with the most today?

    the only one and true editor :) GNU emacs

    What programming languages do you work with the most today?

    Common Lisp (for hobby projects) and elisp - unfortunately I don’t do real programming for money, but manage IT projects. Emacs and my own set of elisp helps me to get my work done (and procrastinate).

    Which Lisp do you work with the most today?

    Common Lisp and elisp

    Are you trying to engineer us socially?

    I’ll bite anyway.

    1. Commodore PET 2001, the original
    2. Commodore’s built-in screen editor
    3. Commodore BASIC
    4. I’ve read books on Lisp, but to say that I’ve learned it or written a program I would admit exists . . . the counter is still running. Hope springs eternal.
    5. Common Lisp, but I was reading about Lisp in BYTE magazine before CL existed, in the context of AI. I was also exposed to the work of Terry Winograd, particularly SHRDLU.
    6. vim, usually without remembering to turn on its fancy features, so it may as well be Bill Joy’s vi.
    7. BASH
    8. I’ve been advised to learn Emacs and its Lisp along the way.

    1. A C64, I believe.
    2. Turbo Pascal… or whatever their IDE was called.
    3. Turbo Pascal… or whatever the language was called. :-) (But I’m not entirely sure whether QBasic had beaten it by a week-or-so anymore.)
    4. Roughly, 20 years. I (kind of) regret that.
    5. Common Lisp, if we don’t accept Python as a Lisp.
    6. GNU Emacs, mostly.
    7. Rust and Go, but that’s mostly because Common Lisp still lacks a good integrated compiler/package manager/project management system that doesn’t start with “install Quicklisp, then…”. Roswell just does not work on most systems on which I had tried it.
    8. Common Lisp.
