I first learned of programming with C, C++, Java, and Python. I was unimpressed and remain so. It wasn't until I learned of visual dataflow languages and functional languages, in particular functional-first or pragmatic functional languages that I began to like programming. But, I was also not indoctrinated by a computer science degree, which probably has a lot to do with it.
