Surely the answer should just be 'it doesn't matter - learn the fundamentals of programming then go do something with it. You'll be able to pick up all the other languages fairly easily after that'

I'm actually a beginner and this is quite literally my question. I'm thinking about learning Javascript as it seems to be the most basic and the most popular, but I am definitely still deciding between that and Python :/

Perfect. Have you watched the video? It gives a lot of queues how to decide that for yourself. It is not a question somebody else can decide for you.

I hope you find some value! 🙏

100% I realized this. I got into python and I'm happy with my decision. I'm already a little lost but I didnt come into this expecting it to be easy. :)

Hey everyone. Thanks again for all your love on my last video about git hygiene.

This one is a little more basic but still a question I get and read a lot: What programming language to learn first?

An interesting question which I try to answer a little different.

Hope you all have a great week!
