fortran, i dont think i ever even saw how that looks ... back when i was in hischool (which is called college here more or less) informatics consisted of "to get started turn the computer on"
(just some of my audiovisual heroes there, to which i hope to hold a candle on my flixxo experiments , after all one needs people to look up to or one will grow only closer to the ground lol)
i think they taught pascal or something which looked a look like basic to me, maybe that's when i got the weird notion syntax is a waste of brainspace since the logic across all languages is the same , the grammar if you like, as your adept in C i doubt i need to elaborate on that.
I think that was the only teacher in that school who could actually stand me
