Another key advantage is granularity if thats the word.  The languages that
are easy to learn are ones you can do something useful in with little
knowledge, and then learn how to do the next thing.

LC is great like that.  A very little knowledge lets you do rudimentary
things which are fully fledged guis, whereas to get to that same point with
Python is hugely more work.

Now, when you are there with Python, maybe its easier and less verbose and
more intuitive for you from then on.   But the rewards with LC come almost
immediately.  It was the same thing with HC, you could make programs of a
sort while knowing almost nothing and then add to what you knew as you went
along.

That is unique to this style of language.  But its not something the guys on
reddit value of course.
