More importantly generic code is almost inevitably bloated, less efficient, and more complex compared to code which only attempts to solve the actual problem at hand, as opposed to attempting to provide a generic solution for all imagined u

Paint.NET actually starts up instantly these days on a half-way modern computer. If you turn off the "Automatically check for updates when paint.net starts" option at least. Also .NET is "native" on Windows.

JS is the new lingua franca, what C used to be. And unlike C it is easy to get started programming in it. Thus a good choice for an intro language if you ask me.

How would that even work? Modern C++ libraries are largely templates, templates which must be instantiated at compile-time i.e. you need a full C++ compiler to use C++ libraries directly. Said compiler must somehow work together with the D
