I first learned C++ when I was 13. This was back in the 90s when the internet still sucked (it still had porn though, so uhh win?) and you had to buy real, physical books. Umm... they are these things that have paper in them and ink is used to output to its paper "screen." With that being said, as a child, especially during these years, you're probably more capable of learning quickly than most human adults are. I don't know if you've ever spent time around babies or kids, but it's insane the capacity for a human to learn. Really mind blowing. As adults, most of us have already been molded or hold particular beliefs that prevent us from being as open as we once were, and it affects our opinions on things. So what am I saying? Not to sound cliche, but whatever you put your mind to, and follow up with action, you'll achieve. Be persistent. Be patient. Don't give up when things get tough, and ALWAYS finish whatever you start. A wise person once said to me, "I don't give a f*** what you decide to do with your life, always give it 100% and be the best at whatever you do. I don't care if you're a trash collector, be the best f***ing trash collector." Live by that rule and not only will you end up obtaining the impossible, but you'll always know that you did your best in life regardless of what came your way. Best of luck!

It's the best time to start, as soon as you are interested in something go for it, you're never too young to learn about the world, furthermore, the younger you start <i> the better </i> you can get. Neuroplasticity + straight time considerations, especialy if you don't have to work yet .. not too early, just the right time ! You're going far kid ! 😉 https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/510275/?ref=app

Considering that Vitalik created Ethereum at 19, you might be too late. You better start coding now and catchup.

I wish I would have started early in life. I'm now 36 with a busy life, making crap wages NOT programming. Starting out so young I dont think you can be a good programmer, I think you could be a great programmer!

Well, I started learning programming when I was 12. You probably won't be a GOOD programmer for another couple of years after you start learning it. But the earlier you start, the sooner you'll be able to write great code! One can't be too young to invest into one's future.

Learn programming at 13 yrs old is perfect for the first step towards mathemathical fields.
