I think Python is a great first language to learn. It is well designed and is widely supported, for example Visual Studio 2015 comes with it. The only trouble with Python is the Python 2 vs. 3 situation. Both these versions are being improved. Python 3 is the newer and better language, but a lot of libraries are only available for Python 2. The wxpython library, referenced in this article, is an example.
