> It is only good for getting jobs. Beginner will either want a job or write some simple apps. "enlightening" languages are worthless for them.

  What? You do realize that lots of schools start entry level programming with "enlightening" languages(scheme, haskell etc)? You can write simple programs very easily with enlightening languages.

    But you won't see many jobs requiring scheme or haskell.

    Yes, and students from those schools are super confused when they want to write anything for real use. Schools teach a lot of things in a wrong way.

  Beginner should use swift, kotlin, go, scheme, python to write those apps.
