You should definitely focus on quick feedback early on to get some basics about programming down. The specifics can come later. I would recommend something even simpler than JS or Rust at first, like Scratch, FreeBASIC, or PICO-8 (PICO-8 is $15, but may be well worth it)

- pull_my_finger 5y agoFWIW Pico-8 uses a modified version of Lua as it's programming language. I would second that (Lua) as a good first choice as that knowledge can be reused in a lot of other kid-friendly environments. Edit: ...and later other more practical general purpose programming environments.
