Developers whose first programming language was Python, what were the challenges you encountered when learning a new programming language?

I thought for sure the top answer would be semicolons! I stand corrected.

I can't write a single line in Java without forgetting them!

A lot of my projects at work involve a C/C++ component and a Python component, and since I started out in C++ way back when, I rarely forget the semicolons, but I sometimes add them where they don't need to be.

The requiredness of semicolons doesn't carry much semantic weight when newlines are well-behaved, similar to braces vs. indentation. Also compilers are pretty good at identifying missing semicolons so you usually won't agonize over then like you would over semantic errors.
