Re:Ask HN: Ruby, Python, or JavaScript for teenager?

I would recommend Python because I think it is best option to learn fundamental programming concepts like conditionals, loops, functions, recursion, data types, basic algorithms like sorting and searching. It has beautiful semantics which is more consistent than in Ruby or JS.
After learning fundamental concepts he can easily start learning more complex languages and concepts with practical applications. For example he can learn Java and Android programming or alternatively Web programming with Python/Django or Python/Flask.
Re:Ask HN: Rust or Haskell which is(or will be) used more in industry

I think that no one of them. They both are too complicated for average developers.

I would choose Python/Django. As a Python developer you can build that app in a couple of days.
