    Why Python, in particular?

    FP is easy... think mathematical functions instead of mutation of memory addresses.

    Tried various languages. Python clicked with me. Intuitive.

    FP will not be easy for me. I am an alpha person. Formulas and equations take more time. Writing cleaner code shifts the focus to more abstract code. More abstraction requires more practicing for me. Keeps you busy...

    Well, you seem to have a good idea of what's important.

    I'm getting close to 40 years of practice in abstraction. Let me know if I can help.

    I have programmed some PIC microcontroller in C. Was quite interesting, but too basic to really get into how C works. Going to try C++ and Java, might be useful.

    Most of the server-side systems were written in either Java (now, maybe, a JVM-based language) or C#. Many apps are Python-based, including my favorite editor (Sublime).

    C is great for just about anything, but there are lots of snares & traps to watch out for. Best kept for low-level or time-critical stuff.
