Programming languages are pretty small things but what you can do with
them is amazing. Just a few words and some syntax rules and you can
build entire operating systems and video games etc. I just thought it
would be a more flowing process i guess. Like ok i am going to sit down
and write a music player all of my own or something but it doesnt work
that way, i think it would take me like a year to make something like
that if not longer. I think my expectations of programming were a bit
unrealistic.

Possibly. I blame the book stores:

I found it amusing that you used the words "forth" [1] and "joy" [2] in the same sentence, while talking about programming, but didn't mention the word "stack" once.

[1] Forth - Wikipedia
[2] Joy (programming language) - Wikipedia
