I just wanna know out of curiosity that which programming language you first used and what was first program all about ???
My first language was Basic. Taught myself in 7th grade robotics class. I made the robot dance :)
I would have mentioned HTML&CSS but since there is a huge gulf as to it nature then I will go with Java. It was the first real language I had working asides JavaScript. The program was just playing around with a Naruto quiz app
I started learning to program unconciously while playing with a DVD full of pirated IDEs and compilers. I made my first buggy non working text editor named Aakaar Text Editor in Borland C++ Builder. But first programming language I learned was JavaScript after learning HTML and CSS.
A program in Ruby. Actually a calculator. A very basic and rudimentary calculator but was functional 😂😂
Then I continued with JavaScript and the web world.
I wrote my first code in C as part of Computer Programming I. It was to use arrays to make really large numbers - add, subtract, multiply and divide. Oh, the basics!
My 2 paise.
More than a program, it was a script in AviSynth.
AviSynth is a video editor without a GUI and controled by an scripting language.
I don't remember to what I used it for the first time, but I suppose to deinterlace an old anime DVD. I think it was Gantz.
Borland C in school, hello world ofc ;D I remember being proud of stuff like putting in a getch() so the execution waits for you to press enter gg .... good old times ^^

Basic on an apple 2 in the mid 80s when I was 10 years old... And the application was the typical Hello World...I was also trying to figure out how to do the digital bubble like in the movie "Explorers" (1985) so I can go into space like the characters in the movie.
Ah... That dream was short-lived with the quick realization of the limitations of programming.
First programmed in BASIC. First two programs where hello world and a calculator.
Interestingly, I realize now, it was the first time when I learnt about input validation when I had to show an error message for division by zero!
Hello world in C++. Shortly after, PHP, and finally Python. OLD Python far before it became "cool."
There's nothing more satisfying than running your first program. Mine was Hello World in C++.
BASIC - 1998 (5th grade) Read a name from standard and input and print “Hello $name”
There was LOGO before that - I wrote a bunch of programs to draw some patterns using turtle graphics, but I don’t count that.
Payroll using Excel VBA macro, and then Regulatory Compliance Monitoring System using classic asp and then Location of Company Customers, Properties and Employees using Google Earth map. I put marker on their location and display on hover their information. I also display in infoWindow the grid coordinates, elevation, and distance from a reference point the clicked location on the map. User can also draw a line and/or polygon and display its length and area. I draw in it's exact location the company's land assets based on the Technical Description on the land Title (as polygon). Information about the property (location, area, etc.) is displayed on hover.
First one I remember was a console based HangMan game in C++, circa 1998
I'm not sure HTML qualifies as a programming language cause it's the first language I started with. And I had a wapka site for downloading games. Then I switched to Java quite later say around 2017 and I'm currently learning it's advanced aspects. Like I said in my profile , I hope to be one of the top dogs in the field of computer science... But I have to work hard of course...
BASIC on my Atari 800. After 10 PRINT "STUFF"; 20 GOTO 10 I made a nice program that animated a birthday message.
helloWorld.c at my programming 101 class. Thats the day i fell in love
The first program I wrote was an application which ejected and closed the DVD tray infinitely. I tried this prank on my brother. By the way I wrote it in Visual Basic in Visual Studio

My first experience was on C++ as it was taught in our freshman year . I printed out the hello world on the console . it was awesome and I still remember that excitement . :)
