I can relate to this.<p>The first language I did any significant work in was PHP - and not modern PHP, which for all of its warts is at least usable, but 4.0.6. It was nasty, but I spent about three years writing it every day.<p>Then I picked up Python. It was hard to grok for a few days, especially when I learned things that didn&#x27;t quite click like &quot;strings are immutable&quot; and &quot;this is a comprehension&quot;. After a month of working with it in my free time, one day things just clicked - and suddenly, Python code was no longer something I had to read line-by-line pausing to understand each action, but something I could skim quickly and understand without expending conscious effort to do so. It was glorious.<p>That moment was about a decade ago, and I could probably write a book now on all the intricacies that I love about the language. I&#x27;ve toyed with other languages on the side, but I always come back to Python. I don&#x27;t know if it fit the way my mind already approached problems or if it has changed my mental processes to conform to it - but it works for me.
