Most of us that work in the IT industry have been around for a long time. We started out in our parents basement writing code in some BASIC environment, ussually Commodore BASIC or QBASIC. Do you remember how thrilling it was? Your first program and it was something extremely basic but the point was it worked. Some of us got hooked right away and kept trying to solve problems and added more and more pushing the capabilities of whatever language we used. As we got older the environments progressed and the programming tools progressed and got more complicated.

It is sort of related to the discussion, so I might as well toss it out there. I'm working on a project called JiggleScript. The home is here:

Basically I'm using JavaScript to interface with OpenGL and other libraries. Over time I want to clean up the API and such, but its pretty cool right now if you're careful. :-) My girlfriend's brother has been doing some pretty amazing stuff with it. I just wish more people were poking around with it. :-)
Oh, and its available for both MacOS X and Windows and the same scripts will work the same on either platform. (Well, within reason, there are some OpenGL differences and such.)
