Why not start with anything that is 10 years old?
Ruby is at or near 10 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_%2...ng_language%29.
Python is seventeen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_...ng_language%29.

Just curious.

I would not put any language on my resume after I've only tinkered with it for a little while. A decent interviewer can usually spot resumes and interviewees that have been padded. So just make sure you are comfortable answering several questions about any language you put on your resume.
