- One of the most common questions I hear for people that want to learn to program is which language they should pick. It's almost paralyzing because people don't want to make the wrong decision, but they can't get past that barrier. I'll share three considerations in this video about picking your first language and why your first might not be that one language you're already thinking about :)

When I was first learning, was in the 90s. I heard Basic, I heard Fortran, and C.
A decade or so later I heard Java, Ruby, (Javascript near the end began to become more of a thing), some people pointed at C++ before C# came really into its own.
Today, I think I'd start with Javascript, only because you can do a lot with it right in a console in a browser, and the odds of messing something up on a system, are low.
However, I do like both Ruby and Python for how expressive they can be, and C# and Java at times feel like it takes more code to do smaller things. (Its gotten better of the years of course), but the first programming language need not be the one you do your first Job as a coder in, it should be one that exposes you to core concepts, some ideas on algorithms, and help you get an idea of some of the syntax ideas you may encounter through a programming career.
Hopefully you can avoid seemingly dead end languages (I'm looking at you Ada.)
Love it! Thanks so much for the detailed comment. It's true: your first language doesn't have to be something you stay married to. The concepts are (almost always) applicable across languages.
