BASIC was the first comp sci language that I had to learn in school. I don't remember much of it, but all I remember was that I hated it, was frightened of it and in corollary ended up being frightened of coding in general. This was until I discovered Python a couple of years back. Now every problem that gets thrown at me, I end up thinking in terms of code. I admit to not being good at coding but now I really enjoy it. The reason for hatred could have been my mindset when I first learnt BASIC, maybe the teacher, maybe the general environment, etc. But I keep asking myself how would I have perceived things if the first language I had learnt was "something like" Python. (Python wasn't prevalent back then)
