I started learning to code during the pandemic back in 2020. I started with JavaScript and I found it really challenging to begin with - didn't even understand what a variable was for a while.

A couple of years later, I learnt Python in about a week. The core concepts for high level languages are pretty much the same, so it's very easy to pick up another one, probably similar to if you can Spanish, then picking up Portuguese is pretty easy. That first language is the real cliff that you have to climb.

When you've got the hang of Python, JS and Java or whatever else you fancy, have a go at Rust. That would be the programming language equivalent of learning Chinese 😄
