Great article, Laurie! It reminded me of when I learned C++ after learning JavaScript. That was many many many many many years ago! In the beginning, I was confused with things like arrays the different types of numbers.
But once you get used to it, it makes it easier to understand other strictly typed languages.

Ya, my original background is Java and Python so the C similarities are new!
C++ was my first language and it helped immensely in learning all other languages, even though I don't recommend it to the beginners today.
