@molly0xfff @opalium Random outsider who agrees. My gateway drug into software development was writing a silly IRC bot in the mIRC scripting language of all things. That spark when I got it working got me hooked. From that I moved onto TCL (which I'm still fond of,) then Python and finally C#
@Mohaneds @molly0xfff @opalium Same here! My first self-taught programming experience was customizing and eventually writing mIRC script bots. Before that I'd taken a BASIC class, so tinkering in a world of live inputs and dynamic responses was very new and engaging.
