Python as a hobby at an older age
I'm 59 years old and I'm looking for a hobby.
Is learning Python worthwhile? Obviously, at my age I'm not looking to get a job in the industry. I just thought it might be fun but I have no idea where it may lead (in terms of learning frameworks and possibly other languages in the future).
I have no particular direction in mind. Suggestions?
I am acutely aware my brain is more concrete than sponge nowadays so I'm anticipating it taking me a week to learn what a younger person does in a day. Age sucks!
Are there any others who have done this and can tell me what their experience has been?
