I have a lot of good ideas about complex AI and would like to learn programming as a means to implement my ideas and put them into practice...

I am starting with Python as it seems to be the easiest one I have tried...

Years back I tried my hand at Delphi a object oriented Pascal Based programming language.

I really do not want to get caught up in the code and focus mainly on my ideas.

Eventually, once the basic working model of my ideas are made into code, I will focus on refining it for speed... I hear that C++ code can be 100's of times faster than Python and that Cython is 70 times faster so I may move to learning that at some point.

I do want to learn all the languages as that will help me to "wrap" code and work on many different platforms, platforms that have been established in other languages and work with them.

Python is my primary focus for now and I will keep people updated when I begin learning another language.

Peace!
