npub1t76as6gjr7pzg0taz40e55smjjegmj89ud7g056aqed90hs7cynspe4l63 (npub1t76…4l63) I found that using Python made me more careful in thinking about the semantics of the thing I was doing, and the way things were stored.
If it's semantically a set then there is no underlying order.
Growing up with Z80 machine code (not even assembler, I had to write my own assembler), then BCPL (typeless), then C, I found the "step up" to a language with actual semantics was ... (significant pause) ... interesting. I was so accustomed to doing all the conversions first, before coding.
So yes ... I've fallen into the same trap. It's a learning experience.
