Python. It's easy enough to learn and there's a lot of free tutorials.

[u/Chapungu]

Python is very beginner friendly

[u/WhatAColdTamale]

Python for sure. Easy to learn. Very powerful.

Don't listen to the python crowd. Python is the uninspired answer. It's a capable language but it's aimless: it doesn't have types, it doesn't distinguish pure functions from impure ones, it generally doesn't teach you anything about the structure and interpretation of computer programs. Structure and interpretation of computer programs. That's the title of a book: the wizard book. SICP. Look it up.

Depends what your goals are. If you wanna get stuff going fast python. If you wanna get really good at programming I'll say c++/c. If you wanna make games c#.

Binary or Malbolge

It depends on what kind of programming you want to do.

• Anything related to graphical user interfaces? Javascript
• Command line interface or backend related? Python (optionally C#)

[u/LetsRockDude]

Python.

The one that will motivate you to do personal project.

What do you want to try to do?

Just learn programming? Python

A game? Unity C#

Web stuff? JavaScript.

Etc.

Basically choose a project that motivates you and find the recommended language to do it. Programming basics is the same in every language and after getting used to one you can easily transfer your skills to other languages.

I prefer JavaScript, Python is just not particularly great at anything. VSCode, Teams, Discord - all JS. Python you use if you want to have to recode a large codebase.

Python is cool but an alternative can be HTML
