JS is definitely a weird beast. I would be curious, though: have you programmed, or is JS your first programming language?

Learning your first language is always going to be harder. You have nothing to compare it to, and you're learning complex computer science topics at the same time as unfamiliar syntax.

Anyway, point being: be kind to yourself, and give yourself the time you need to really understand things. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Hey Patrick! JS is my first programming language. And yesss, it is hard because I came from flowers and roses (HTML and CSS). And you are absolutely right, I had nothing to compare it to and that really irked my brain. But now that I am programming with JS, I am assuming that when I step into Python and other languages, the experience will be relative. :)
Thank you for your kind words.
