Circa 1987. I was about seven yrs old so it's all a little fuzzy. But the language was BASIC on a ZX Spectrum 48k.

My first ever program:

10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10

I hadn't even heard of "Hello World" at this point. In any case, the world wasn't listening. I was just getting my computer to say "HELLO" to me :) This, at the time, was the most impressive thing I'd ever seen.
