Honestly Vince, We are mostly 2nd generation programmers I would say. Most of the First generation has left us already !.
Dartmouth BASIC was released on 1 May 1964. I was just past 1 year old. There was a generation of programmers ahead
of all of us !
Come to think of it. Niklaus Wirth was probably 2nd generation and WE are all 3rd !
