What language should a new programmer learn first?

Answer 1

If you're beginner then start learning C language first it will provide you all basic knowledge about programming , working of memory, working of ram, and errors handling etc.

Once your basics of programming clear then you can explore anything easily and quickly (for example if it takes you 2 months to learn C then learning of other languages like java , c++ , python etc takes only 10-15 days )

I highly recommend you to learn C first and practice it as much as you can

Answer 20

Python is an easy introductory language. However, it can teach some bad habits for a programmer and leave out a lot of deep understanding of coding as a whole. C is a great first language and in theory should be every coders first (or at least 2nd language). I personally recommend Java as an introductory language. It is C based but not as technically challenging as C. It will teach most of the important good habits and give you room to grow into any other language. Also very useful for a variety of applications.
