Which programming language do you learn first? The one your friends use. If your friends don't program (or you don't have any friends), learn Python.

- presidentender 16y agoAgreed. I learned Java first, and it's a hugely non-optimal choice... but I was playing the hell out of Steve Yegge's game, Wyvern (http://www.cabochon.com http://www.cabochon.com), and it was 100% Java/Jython. As such, I had competent developers to talk to. I work 0% in Java now, of course.
- misterbwong 16y agoI'd extend this to "The one where you can easily get the most help." The first language is the hardest so learning a language that you can easily get help with is crucial.
