How's it going? You do any programming yourself?

You have the > symbols backwards.. It would be:

cout << "Hello!" << endl;

My anwswer to that one is easy... BASIC on a Microbee in 1986 bought me to programming.

With me it was when our science classroom bought a Commodore PET in 1981. We
learned as a class to write programs in BASIC, then worked as teams to write
programs that demonstrated what we learned. In most cases one or two
students did all the work, and the other team members goofed off. We'd all be
tested individually, so paying attention was important.

To me at the time, computers were magical. The idea that you could tell a
computer what to do by writing and keying in code was also magical. it was
like writing spells. We didn't get too technical in what all could be done
in BASIC though. It was basically creating processes requiring input
statements that would be used in making math programs, or you would enter a
name, a noun, a verb, and some adjectives, and it will create a story where
it fills in the blanks with the words you gave it. I wanted to learn more
advanced skills such as variables and arrays to make the story programs more
random, however my guess was the teacher hadn't read that far in the book
yet.

I never went much further in programming even though I had an Atari 400 then
later a C-64. I would try to learn, but I probably could've learned more
if I had learned flowcharting as it related to creating larger programs with
multiple loops and subroutines.

Now that I have a couple of Raspberry Pi's and a Rock64 sbc, I would like to
learn Python so I can make use of the GPIO pins.

I started with Applesoft on an Apple ][, then Turbo Pascal on the same platform
(with Z80 cards), and later Turbo Pascal on DOS. Even wrote a bit of Assembler
on processors such as 8086 and 6809 loved the 6809)

Then I largely quit, other than batch and Linux shell scripting, and a bit of
PIC ASM. Did dabble in Java for a short period though.

Microsoft Disk Extended Basic and then later Basic09 on the Coco 2 and Coco 3.
Did a little in C and Java after and took Cobol in high school. I don't do much
programming in my day job outside of some scripting.
Good times though.

I'm currently learning 6809 assembly on a TRS-80 (CoCo) emulator. It's pretty advanced features for an 8-bit cpu: two stacks, 16-bit registers, a multiply instruction, and best of all; a SEX instruction.

... Decimal points are always one place too far to the left.

I did a little bit of 6809 ASM at university. That's one chip I really loved
programming. Seemed very easy to work with, and one I think I could quickly
get used to again.

Depends what it is. ;)

That was one of things on my computing bucket list as a kid. I have the Coco-PI
now and am thinking of trying it out at some point. It's nice that all the
books (or the ones that matter I guess) are all available on PDF these days.
