object-oriented programming just slides right off my smooth brain lol

Don’t worry, although it’s good to learn, IMO it’s still on the wrong side of overused and overrated and could stand to be applied more selectively than it tends to be.

What’s with these kinds of cross-posts that only serve to split the discussion?

If you’re coming into programming from zero, try Hedy.

It’s a gradual progression textual programming language specifically designed for teaching and learning. At the last level, it’s just Python.

If you’re not coming from zero, you might want to jump straight into C#, considering your goal of making games and the ecosystem of Unity games.

IMO consistent repeated “writing predictable long lines” means the code smells of abstractions that can be improved, i.e. if autocomplete is really saving someone that much time, there are likely even worse problems.
