Actually, I have programmed in many languages. I just first learned in
Pascal.

For me, going from Pascal, to basic,c,cobol,fortran  . . was not that
difficult. Python, however, feels strange.

As crazy as this may sound: Python, in some ways, reminds me of
assembly language. I haven' t programmed in assembly in a *long* time.
But I vaugly remember doing a lot of stuff where  I used memory
addresses as pointers to data, and also as pointers to pointers.
Although, when I first started assembly language, I think it took me a
week to write a program to print "hello world."
