Autists Make Better Programmers

If you aren't an autist, you'll never be an EXPERT PROGRAMMER.

Before college, I started to program in VBA, using MSOffice built-in editor (which I found by accident when editing some macros I used to format my aunt's docs).
Next week, google told me that C and C++ were the most used languages, then I took my time to learn C and opengl, then tried to do a couple of games.
It was going nice, but I needed two things for a good game: an engine and AI. I thought about C++ and Lisp (google again).

But, before learning those, I went into college, and there I didn't see anything but Pascal, then Delphi, Java, and finally, HTML+CSS+Javascript.

Now, years later, I decided to study C++ and Lisp in depth. And it's a shame to have trouble learning them now.
