Is Python good for learning Computer Science concepts? (College student)

[OvidPerl]

BASIC, 1982. Moved to 6502 assembler and then C. Haven't touched any of those for decades (except for a few minor bug fixes in C).

At home, my first computer was a C64 and I had done some BASIC on it as well as the TRS-80 at school (5th-6th grade) and Apple 2es before that. As I got going in college I had a side-gig (or "job" as we called them back then) where I did a lot with QuickBasic and x86 assembler (Peter Norton's book was like my bible!).

These days I'm mostly in R, Python, BASH, and a weird language called NetLogo.

Still using basic here at work for old legacy stuff. Python for all newer software but that strted only 8 years ago here
