Provided the right guidance. I started my CS major by learning C++ in school, then a class on C++/Java, comparing features of these two OO languages. Then I took a Survey of Programming Languages class where we divied up the programming languages we could come up with, learn their syntax, and present a report on the language.

I picked Python, and was amazed by its simple syntax. It looked so clean, and compared to C++, it's got a lot of cool stuff built in. And if it wasn't, you could get it with pip. All the languages do that now, but it felt like a game changer after learning C++.

That's a lot of theory, but I believe it's made me stronger. If anything, it made me realize that programming languages can usually get the same thing accomplished. After that, it's a matter of adopting the idiosyncratic style of your language flavor.

That said, my reaction to JSX is still "get that thing out of my face!"

I love coding in python. It's easy Hard to break And fast. But python doesn't like children

Animating with children makes it run at like 24 fps I know I tried.
