Try learning with a less strict language like Python, JS or maybe even TypeScript.
High-level languages like C are good to learn eventually but maybe not to start in my experience.
Strongly typed langs will keep you from falling into bad habits, but the learning curve may keep you from coding entirely. Memory management becomes important for mobile & game dev.
My thoughts exactly! I was almost scared off entirely as I hadn't fully wrapped my head around the concepts yet before going strict type. Going with non-strict allows you just to code
