Anecdotally, but it started programming games when I was 11, using gamemaker 4, and it's GML scripting language. I breezed through maths for the next couple of years, as I fundamentally understood primary/early-highschool algebra.

The problem arises, in that I adored maths, and had amazing teachers , and my father is an engineer and would sit me down every week and teach me more about maths, so how much can be attributed to programming, is hard to say. All I know is that variables introduced in the classroom made the class look at me funny when I pointed out how they worked when programming, in grade 6!
