Question about starting with Python for everyone
I keep hearing people say 'just learn Python first' like it's the only way. My friend in Chicago said it, and I tried it for a week. I found the way it handles types so loosely made me mess up simple math a lot. Has anyone else started with something stricter, like Java, and had a better time?

Yeah, strict types help you learn better.

Man, I saw this play out with my buddy last year. He was learning Python and kept hitting weird bugs from loose type stuff. @wendy_clark would've laughed - he spent a whole weekend tracking down a string being treated as a number. Strict typing would've caught that in seconds. Now he swears by it for anything new he tries.
