This.
High-level languages are still awkward for me because of this, because I've learned not to trust a language helping me in any way, and doing it all by myself.
I'm also somewhat of a speed-kiddie, a habit which I've been trying to drop.

This is why it's important to start with a higher level language and not with C/ASM.
