> or the first time a bot I created logged in and took drink orders. My first experience with programming was writing bots in the mIRC scripting language. After first getting things to work the feeling was truly empowering. I have to say though, my next attempt in programming was in C and I found it extraordinarily difficult to get started in. Having said that, I was 14 at the time. I think the fact that my first programming experience was with a scripting language really affected how I how I think about programming now. Ever since then I've found it easier to learn scripting languages than systems languages. Maybe that doesn't make sense to some but that's just me.
