I also got my start with languages in the basic family, and I had the same difficulty when I went to learn other languages. I wanted to make other languages look like basic. It took me a while to learn the value of adapting to the style of each different language. Of course, now when I go and write basic programs, I am constantly trying to make them look more like python :) --- James Paige
