from the ask-hn dept.

If you were to advise someone who has never learned to program and would like to learn, what programming language would you advise them to learn first?

Javascript. Works in the browser, which includes a great REPL.

Depends on what the person wants to make. Having a passion project will make it much more likely that they stick with it.

I would likely choose from Python, JS/TS, and Go
