"Python is a popular choice, but I think it's a horrible pedagogical language." Something like this occurred to me when I learned Javascript. Python is so easy initially, but its interesting how the CS principles of it are not so easy. I think this popular cause someone with a CS background can quickly get the ideas of variables and printing to terminal, but look at how javascript vs Python handle objects. Javascript it is just setting a variable to a bracket of values, like an array. Python you have to tackle concepts like what a class and self are. Not saying Python is better/worse than any other for learning, but I am certain its popularity for beginners is how easy you can go from 0 to something. Not how easy it is to learn CS and programming principles.
