I never cared to learn the syntax of any specific language other than C, as most courses I took in university used C. I used Python for a few projects but I have now forgot, or rather, never tried to remember, how to write a for loop in Python, or find the length of an array/list, or any of the string functions.
Python is great for some lightweight projects and ML/data, and I think its probably the best beginner language for non CS people, as it doesnt have a steep learning curve and hide many internal complexities pretty well, so one can build something useful quickly, but it would be a disaster for large scale distributed system, or any realtime high performance system used by HFTs.

Dude! That was the only language I ever bailed on - way too academic for me and the keyboard contortions required to generate all of those weird characters was a pain.

I wouldn't mind jumping on the virtual do for the first time after landing and checking in, at YVR tonight approx 20:00 PDT.
Assuming you will accept a loley 50K, would it be possible to get zoom deet's?
I promise I won't bring up Python/C++/Rust, I deal with them enough daily, like to keep my weekends nerd free if possible. 😃
