I've heard similar arguments made against BASIC, C and Pascal - "learn assembler, real programmers code in assembler, you need to know assembler to understand what's really happening".
Good to know now at least C is allowed. We're going somewhere :)
As to losing interest in programming because Python is too easy - BASIC on 8bit computers was gateway drug to programming for me and most of my friends, I think kids like programming being too easy (instant feedback etc).
- kazagistar 12y agoYeah, the easy argument struck me as a bit backwards. I mean, it is basically always possible to make programming harder for yourself if you don't have enough of a challenge.
