>Overall interlingua is about as simple and regular as can be.
Interlingua never cared much about simplicity and regularity and it shows. Occidental before it has something called De Wahl's Rule that is focused on achieving as much regularity as possible while being easy to read at first sight. Here's how it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Wahl%27s_rule#Rule
Girl: she moved away at the end of grade 6 (I think to the US) and this was in 1992 before the internet so that was the end of that.
Distancing from computers and regrets: worked well, and no regrets. Had long hair and listened exclusively to heavy metal and almost all of my friends in high school were girls. I remember the computer guys where we lived tended to just hang out in the computer lab and not a girl to be seen in there. (I'm sure they got fantastic jobs early on, of course)
Though in 2015 when our team at the pipeline company got packaged out I probably would have properly learned to code if I had gone straight with F# instead of Python and then trying everything else until I ran out of time and had to find a job instead. Or Rust though version 1.0 would have just come out then and not sure if there would have been enough resources to pull through.

On a similar note, if you're not shy / don't have the funds you can stream yourself learning a language on Twitch and be inundated with people telling you what you should do every time you get stuck. [This guy](https://youtu.be/IwbHcXsCWd0?t=5754) comes to mind. Every time he streams, a virtual army of advisors shows up to tell him what to do (to the point that he frequently has to tell them sorry, I really need to figure this out myself before I look at your solutions).
