- gravedave 13y agoThe main idea still applies. C and Scheme show very different aspects of computer science, so even those people will need to choose a focus. If all you want to do is "become a programmer" you'll discover that you'll never get there, as there's always more to know. If you're asking yourself now what language to pick, you'll later ask what to learn next, and once you've done that, ask again. Asking what first language to pick is just the first manifestation of a potentially never-ending bad habit of never gaining focus. This applies to both web apps and computer science.
