Actually, I learned by programming assembly for a long gone platform, 25 years ago. I have learned Python already after many years programming in C, Perl, Java and Common Lisp, professionally.
Experience with Lisp gave me a certain way of looking at programming languages. Rather than "oh, how fun!", I am more like "let's see which subset of Lisp it implements".
The only really interesting language in recent years that I have learned is Rust which truly does something new and it recalibrated my thinking about utility of making further subsets of Lisps. It seems there is still a lot of possibility for improvement from the language standpoint, and that it is possible that a lot of improvement may come from restricting the developer from doing certain things rather than giving unrestricted freedom.
You likely got this illusion because from beginning on, you actually programmed in C in a very "Pythonic" way.
