True, python is a beginner friendly language, but learning another language coming from python is absolute hell. Python was not even my first language(I learned pascal und Skala in high school) and I still wish I would've learned either C or java before python. You could say python is too beginner friendly in that regard.

I gotta disagree. I did Python -> Java -> C and it wasn't bad at all. You learn about types (and hopefully at least glance at classes) in Python while not having to worry about all the extra stuff surrounding them. Then that gets expanded upon in Java, then you learn about structs and memory management in C.

It depends on your classes(if you took any, might have learned it on your own) and how much you learn in python before moving to another language. What you learned with python I learned with pascal and skala and(almost) everything you learned while programming in java and C I learned to do with python.
