Short scripts (for everything but scalable or native applications) -> python
Native applications (works on every OS) -> go, rust
GUI -> C#, nodejs (electron)
Web dev -> JS
Scalable applications -> java, c#, c++

Python ftw

Python.
Or you can try some low /no-code platforms - it's popular now and you can create cool staff with them, in the same time learning what it takes to be a programmer - workflows, logic, etc

Python is often recommended first. But I'll go off the beaten path and suggest html/javascript just because building something graphical is more fun than typing into a console.

seriously, just pick one popular and easy, like python, javascript, etc. because evetually u have to learn more than one programing language, and finding that once u got the concepts, like data structure, algorithm, design patterns, blah, blah, blah... it is really easy to learn several more programing languages.

of course, programing languages got their own strengths and weakness... basically if u want to make games, just go for C#, C++. if u wanna make apps, just learn java, kotlin, swift, objective-c, even dart. wanna hack something? well i guess python would be a nice choice for making tools u need.

python all the way, for sure

Okay, okay, if you want hacking try javascript, of course

depends on what you want to do

Completely up to what you want to do, but in general you want to start with Python.

Some schools teach Java as their introductory computer course, usually because it's a bit easier to visualize Object Oriented Programming due to how verbose it is. But Java is supposedly being phased out.

In my opinion both Python (more of a scripting language then a programming one) and Batch (Windows 7, 8 , 10, 11 automation) should be good for ya to start out with

try react native bro!
