<h1>How to Choose a Programming Language</h1>
<h2>By Simon Sauter</h2>

<h2>Preface</h2>
<p>
One of the most asked questions in the Sololearn Q&A forum is "What programming language should I learn?" In this document I explain first why that is not a good way to approach the issue and then give some tips on how to choose a programming language. What I will not do is recommend any programming languages. The reason for that should become clear soon.
</p>
<h2>Common Mistakes to Avoid</h2>
<p>
Unfortunately, a lot of people go about choosing a programming language in a very bad way. For that reason before talking about how to choose a language it is necessary to talk about how <i>not</i> to choose a language.
