Sometimes I have also some - or more - problems trying digesting python and feeling totally blocked.
My programming experience (beginning at the card-reader aera) main-frame, mini and micro : Bit / Byte / Word system-programming via switch-console followed by Assembler and commercial software using Basic, Cobol, Pascal and SQL. Mnemonic programming-language - in my understanding - can only be consisting of expressions near the human language. The best example for writing non-system-programms are Basic and SQL. Why should I waste time in learning a "language" like Java (or more positive: python) ? Nevertheless this Tutor Digest is most helpful, the number of questions / problems show some more people are looking for a mnemonic-language which should cross-compile to something with multiplatform-capability like Java. Please let me know, if I am entirely wrong.
