The first programming language I used was Python, then I switched to BASIC

I tried to learn C++ at one point, and the conclusion I came to was that it was needlessly complex and not worth my time

I fail to see any advantages to a language that leaves everything up to the developer to do, all it does is drag development times out and increase the ammount of bugs

Understand my stance on this though, I'm not an ace programmer and I would never claim to be, I came into programming purely to work on the games I'm now working on and I have no ambitions beyond that, I know only what I need to make my games
