I've been considering whether BASH or JavaScript should be the go to language. Certainly these two languages are the ones on almost every computer straight out of the box. Anyone with a web browser can open "Javascript console" and start learning programming. BASH is good because you immediately get the ability to feel like the master of your computer. Plus if you do go into development later, you can use BASH skills for all kinds of developer tasks from renaming classes, to counting how many lines of code are in a directory, to using cURL to see what a request or response should look like, and beyond.
I kind of seem unable to remember bash syntax from one time to the next... I keep the Bash cookbook handy. OTOH, now that it's in Windows too, and of course in Macs (although most users probably ignore that) it's kinda everywhere too...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
