Programming started as a kid. Didn't learn python until college, mostly because i was frustrated with pearl that i just found that pearl just never fitted my brain right. And now here i am basing thebatedy, in gradschool,. i did a particle physics and used piton quite extensively, actually, throughout his research. It's choold, ot of the sort of logical thinking, problem solving you learn in physics or math or whatever, they translate pretty well to programmig.
