What should I learn

Question

I am using a lot of scripts for games for example Arma 3 and I want to write my own now, wich language would be the best to start with? I'm a totally noob so the easier to learn the better for me :)

Answer 1

I think the point is being severely missed here. You just joined two hours ago and you want to learn programming. It is good that you stated your intentions to get into game development, but that's a long journey ahead and you should be starting from the basics instead of going directly for a specialization in scripting in a particular game.
