I feel that the main value of bootcamps is the networking aspect, meeting folk that could help you get into the industry. So in that respect it’s hard to replicate from a fresh state. I would recommend that you try to learn a language on your own anyway, though, if you’re interested. Python is a good choice.

I’ll also say that programming is more a mindset than anything. Willingness to learn, try things, fail, and grow. Languages themselves are also tools more than things to dedicate your life to, so pick the one that works best for your problem if it makes sense. So in that respect the wall you mention is perhaps more one the media has built up.
