Back in college, I majored in computer science. Between 2004 and 2007, I was passionate about graphic design, and somehow I concluded that computer science must teach graphic design in a way or another. ( Hey! don't laugh at my thought process \ud83d\ude05)<\/p>\n

In the first semester, we had a course named CS 152.\u00a0 It meant to teach us the basics of programming using C. It was overwhelming understanding the logic and dealing with the technicalities of C at the same time. So I remember, and I could be wrong, that every time you want to write a simple program that prints a \"Hello World,\" you need to write something like this:<\/p>\n

#include <stdio.h>
\nint main()
\n{
\nprintf(\"Hello, World!\");
\nreturn 0;
\n}<\/p>\n

At the time, I didn't understand why I should write \"#include\" and (int main), and it wasn't a great intro to programming for me.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, I believe if the instructor decided to teach us an intuitive programming language like Python, I think my experience will be different.<\/p>\n

Why do I include this long introduction?<\/h3>\n

I was browsing my twitter feed the other day and saw Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, decided to step down<\/a>. After 29 years of development, he decided to be less active on the core development.<\/p>\n

When I read the article, the following questions came to mind :<\/p>\n
