TIL my uncle's BASIC code from 1985 is still the best way I learn loops
I started coding like 3 years ago with Python tutorials. Kept watching videos about for loops and while loops, but it never stuck. Last month I found an old floppy disk with my uncle's BASIC programs from when he was a teenager. He wrote this little guessing game with a loop that just clicked for me. Now I rewrite every new concept I learn in BASIC first before trying it in Python. Weird but it works. Has anyone else found that old languages make new concepts easier to understand?

Isn't it funny how the brain latches onto things better when they're stripped down? I've noticed the same thing with cooking, like reading a grandma's handwritten recipe card makes way more sense than some fancy food blog with a life story before the ingredients. Old stuff just gets to the point.
