I came in to the pydata library after extended time in Matlab/Octave. Learning there first was terrible for programming basics (e.g. polymorphism) but was excellent for ensuring I knew what a given algorithm does/should do.

I highly recommend spending some time in C/C++, Go, or Julia to pydata-first folks that ask.
