If we can teach trigonometry to teenagers, addresses in memory should not be hard. I've seen mainly:
-if you say "introductory language" students hear "I won't use later" and make minimal effort
-not enough time spent on basic concepts before memory
-way too much time on syntax

CS profs, is it true that if students start learning programming with Python, they will go on to have a lot of trouble understanding low-level concepts such as memory and pointers in langs like C++?
