I am 16 and still learning! But how I got started is quite interesting I think.
I love Minecraft, it's pretty much my favorite game, back in 2012 it wasn't as big
but I loved it.

There were these things called "Mods" which at modifications to the game.
In Minecraft pocket edition you had to use Javascript to make them. So that's how I got started.

After not succeeding in Javascript I said, well maybe C++ is easier (I didn't know much about programming languages as you can tell). Strangely enough, I learned the core of programming with C++. Functions, Memory etc...

So after 2 years I returned to Javascript and became pretty good at it.
1 Year after I found Rust.
I love it so much, rust is amazing. I wish it was my first language.
