Here are some of the programming languages which I think are very beginner friendly:
Python
C
C++
Java
SQL (Although it is not a programming lang...

I don't think C or C++ belong here. They're more for intermediate/experienced programmers, as they require the developer to control memory. The rest, though, are great for beginners
i agree!
If you remove anything from the list that is not a programming language and that is not beginner friendly, the result is fairly short.
As far as I know Blockly can be a good option for the first steps, but I´m not sure anybody would like to bulid something really usable on that platform.
People using Go seem to be a bit indifferent about the suitability, but it seems very similar to C#
It could be helpful for a beginner to have
For an absolut beginner I would recommend:
Happy coding!
I would take JavaScript off the list as well, leaving only Python. JavaScript was a great language for beginners in 2011. Now the typical JavaScript toolchain is so convoluted (node, webpack, framework of the week, linter, tester, CSS preprocessor, browser shims, 25+ npm packages), even very experienced devs struggle with it.
Python, as far as I can tell, has avoided most of that.
i agree!
Go is a fairly simple language, with zero verbosity. This does make it annoying when you need to do things that some languages have in their stdlib, like check if an array contains something. The suitability may be similar to C#, but the language itself is very different. C# is fully object-oriented, whereas Go doesn't even have classes.

Similar to Python, JavaScript should be in top 1 of the list because of the high demand and also easy to learn.
C# is also great. The one who knows or interested in learning Java can also learn to program with C#.
yes!
Python truly is easy to learn. Infact I just finished learning python. I think JavaScript is kind of midway between being hard and being easy. I think it's just about understanding the syntax and basically knowing what each does. That's me though, others might have different view points.
thanks for your insights!
yes!
absolutely!
