     @nixCraft depending on what they want to do.
     If they want to program micro-controllers Python or JS won't be my first choice.
     If they just want to learn to code for fun or don't have a concrete idea, always 3, Python.

     @nixCraft Unpopular opinion: JavaScript. It’s quite rewarding that your program will run anywhere and you can just send people a link to try it.

     @nixCraft
     my university's CS course starts with python, and people seemed to get it rather quickly

     that said, the semester right after python has C in it, so people are now kinda desperate lol

     @nixCraft Rust! It's nice to have borrow checker/move semantics mindset in other languages
