The problem in learning JavaScript first is about the OO paradigm. It's not so common doing things that way in JS but I agree with you that is the most valuable first step. I also would advice to start learning JS + some strongly typed language so that you can take the most of most used things in programming world. I started only with JavaScript but if I knew how I would need to know about things related to OO and stuff, I'd start learning some language related to it from the beginning.

That's a good idea, perhaps once comfortable with syntax and program flow have a play with TS. I learned C first so had to worry about types but I just don't think that's a good starting point today unlesss you are following along with something like CS50.net (which is still my number one recomendation to people)
