I didn't really like Ruby until I had to teach someone new to programming. I explained what we were doing, then wrote it out in English, and besides the line breaks, he was so surprised that he had already written his first function. It's hard to remember what a barrier to entry a few extra semi-colons can be for a brand new programmer.

Could totally relate to that . My introductory language was C and god I hated the language. I failed every programming test until I picked up python and felt like I could understand what programming is . Later I worked in school in C and loved it too. But python would be my first love.
