I tell ya, having learned BASIC first, I had a really hard time learning C. I just couldn't grasp the whole concept behind it. (New programmers: DO NOT LEARN BASIC FIRST UNLESS YOU PLAN ON MOVING TO FORTRAN NEXT!)
Then I started "mudding" a lot and got a wizard position, so I had to learn LPC...and fast...
But when I actually started coding for objects in the MUD it hit me like a Great Shield upside the head. :-)
At that time there simply weren't a lot of examples that showed WHY you would seperate your code into seperate functions with their own private internal workings and the practicalities of it had never occured to me.
I credit LPC with me being able to program in "real" languages today :-D
