Yeah, Ruby is another pretty good one, a lot like Python. I chose to just
stick with Python, since that's what I've been learning anyways, and
dealing with indentation is, surprisingly, easier to deal with than the
countless end end end that I'd have to do in Ruby. Like, with Python, I can
go from indent level 8 to indent level 0 and it'll know "okay, all that is
over."

I am not too scared of indentations. It is frustrating when your code is
not working because you forgot to properly indent, but that is no different
from forgetting how many braces you need to properly finish off a block.

Some depends on what you wanna do. Quorum has a scene editor that helps a
blind person place objects on a grid so as not to overlap, etc, which,
honestly, you're not going to find in Python. So if you're into primarily
text/web programming, Python's cool. If you wanna manipulate shapes &
stuff, perhaps Quorum has some advantages. In the final analysis, it all
comes down to what you're trying to accomplish & what you feel comfortable
with. I myself hate the indentation in Python, but that's just me. & this
is why horse racing is a thing.

Yep, after looking at Quroum's website with the teaching tracts, Isyntax is fast to type, lol.
suggest Python. I mean, loook at this syntax.
``` Quorum
use Libraries.Containers.List
class Main
action Main
List<integer> myList
myList:Add(12)
```
``` Python
list = [1, 2, 3]
```
I mean, it doesn't get simpler from there. Random number generation?
``` Quorum
use Libraries.Compute.Random
Random generator
integer value = generator:RandomIntegerBetween(0, 10) output value ```
``` Python
import random
print(random.randint(0,10))
```
Not as many lines as lists, but just, so much typing! Like, we have to
*type* all this. So, I am all behind Python. It's got many, many
libraries for plenty of uses, even audio game libs like Lucia and
Earwax, data science, web development, app development for Windows,
Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android with Beeware, a way for pretty much
platform-independent TTS with GTTS, just so much. And from beginner
*to* advanced programmer, Python is there. It's not just for schools
for the blind, like Quorum is panning out to pretty much be. And the
Now, of course, I'm not anywhere near an advanced programmer, with
only one successful project under my belt, but I know I wouldn't have
half the help online when learning Quorum. Python, meanwhile, has so
many tutorials, books, and forums (Stackoverflow for the win!), that I
can pretty much always find an answer to any problem I have. Also,
there are *choices*. For web development, which I'm about to get into,
there is Django, web2py, py4web or web4py or something, Flask, and
probably more. Many different ways to do things! Yes, this is because
of Python's age, but as a newbie, I need all the help I can get.
