Nonsense. I taught myself BASIC in the '80s when I was 11. I had no trouble whatsoever grasping OOP, recursion, event-driven, or functional programming.

Perhaps this is due, in part, to the fact that I was self-taught, and moved to QuickBasic Pro before I did any serious work, and left the whole world of line numbers, gotos, gosubs, and line labels behind.

I am almost entirely Python now.
