Python was not the first programming language I wrote a program in, but it was the first one I actually ran. When I was a kid I wanted to make games, I picked up a book on C from the library. I wrote a simple interactive fiction type game but with never managed to compile it. When I tried out python a couple of years later I was blown away. I could actually write and run programs. I wrote a mandelbrot set generator and I was hooked. This is what programming is supposed to be like, I thought to myself.
