I also learned Basic (Spectrum, GW, Quick, Turbo), followed by Assembly (Z80, 68000, x86) and Turbo Pascal.
So when I got to learn C, my reaction was like "meh", given that I was already used to Turbo Pascal capabilities in type safety, modules, OO, low level programming (everything that C does), blazing compilation times.
So I quickly moved away from C into C++ that allowed me to use stuff I was already used to from Turbo Pascal. Parallel to that I used most of Oberon family of languages.
