 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1948&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Cerulean Spark&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;ceruleanspark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; That's an interesting observation. Granted, I started learning about programming at age 12. At that time, I thought of programming languages as naturally as I thought of language itself: just a way to &amp;quot;speak in a way the computer understood me&amp;quot;.  Sure, these days I think a bit more about the algorithms and optimizations, data structures and object models, and so on and so forth, but in my initial steps it was a rather simple endeavor that came rather naturally.</html>
