I had logo on my Atari 800 back in '82. After having learned BASIC, it took a while for me to wrap my head around list-oriented programing. After a few weeks of beating my head against the manual, however, I got halfway good at it.
Then, my little brother, 12 years younger than me, in 2nd grade, sits down and 2 days later he's programming circles around me. He could make that atari dance like Fred Astaire.
And I was the one who wanted to be a computer programmer. He had no inclination in that direction at all, and became a businessman.
I learned a very painful and embarrassing lesson about how learning the wrong programming language can give you brain damage.
