This is a fun Gantt chart showing when I was exposed to various programming languages or domain-specific languages. It is of course no indicator of my ability to be productive in them, only when I can remember an approximation of the first time I used them for any purpose.
This was a fun exercise in remembering when I picked up various things for various reasons. You can see some patterns, like when I was first learning in high school, then college, then my first jobs, then my second, etc.
