I had a similar experience also at age 11 - I was learning C++ to solve my math homework problems. I heard about Python, tried it out, and went on IRC to ask how I could write "goto" statements in Python. I couldn't believe it when people told me they weren't necessary, and linked "Go To Considered Harmful"!
