You're not missing much. If you know Python, you could go back
   in time to the 1980s and master Microsoft BASIC in a few
   hours... if you had to.

   Same with me and Python. I whipped together something quick in
   Python to see if I could make Minecraft PC do a few things using
   this mod: [1]https://github.com/kbsriram/mcpiapi and it was
   pretty easy.

   I had to learn PHP in a hurry once for a website thing and same
   thing - it's all not that hard. Once you get one under your
   belt, you can do any of them with a little gumption.
