It seems that there are some who are incapable of learning programming. That said, when you are programming, you are virtually always working with a Von Neumann Architecture, so many languages have common ground.

Code is in general presented as composable units. Working in Symbolic Graphs of plaintext names or in actual graphs in 2d makes little difference.

If you really want to learn programming, but think that regular Java(script) or Python is trite and annoying, try Haskell. Haskell requires you to know math to actually make sense of anything, and it is very powerful in very different ways compared to Algol descendants.
