Didn't everybody start with assembly? This is still common in EE, is it not in CS?

BASIC, Pascal (high school), C (college), VB, Fortran, C++ (work)

I know just enough assembly to manage super-low-level debugging to dig out compiler bugs and/or subtle errors in my own code.

I'm a Chemical Engineer by training, though... if I'd been ECE, the sequence would have been the same through C (basic frosh engineering course) but probably would have diverged thereafter. That's probably also true of CS, but less certain. I'm sure there's a great degree of variability from school to school, and I think many have shifted from C to Java as an entry-level language.
