My point is that if I define a metric for easier to use by a beginner programmer (child) then C syntax > Python syntax
If you define a different metric, maybe pretty syntax then it would compare in reverse.
Though I don't have experience or seen people testing this on children and "proving" that having to keep in mind spaces/tabs is harder then the braces and semicolumns (when using a decent IDE) so I may be wrong.

- simion314 8y agoMy speculation is based on the FACT that python syntax involves the programmer to indent correctly where C like syntax is not , so the only way you could disagree is that maybe 1 the cost of keeping indentation in mind for beginners is 0 2 or the cost is greater then zero but there is some different cost in C like syntax that affects beginners Keep in mind I am talking about syntax here and not the C language
