Yes, that's me (mid 20s). I learned using Scratch in middle school, made a lot of tiny games for me and my friends, and then learned Python in high school (with C++ fairly shortly afterwards). Scratch shields you from learning how data is represented even more than Python, and at that age all I wanted to do was make video games. My first "wow" moment was learning how Scratch platformers changed the "offset" to bring objects into view but didn't actually move my characters left and right.
