Discussion on: What would you like your first programming language to be (or have been)?

I started with Python and I loved it. The syntax was so similar to natural language and I could build stuff so fast!

If I had to pick a different language to have learned first, it would have been JavaScript. You can build such practical and fun things with just a little bit of code, which I think gets new developers excited!

From a practical standpoint, Java is probably the happy middle ground of programming right now -- it is nicer to work with than C++ and C though it has some similar tendencies and it doesn't spoil you like super high level languages do!
