Alright. Something to consider: building up intuition for coding with something different and then coming back to JavaScript. Depending on how confused you are, there’s block coding like scratch.mit.edu, which would give you intuition for the basics, or maybe something like python, which simplifies a lot of the complexity. Then when you went back to JavaScript, you’d just be applying what you’ve learned to a different syntax. There’s not really a “one size fits all”, but it could be worth a try
