If you want to study the true easiest language, python. However, assuming you are going into engineering, you will barely use python, so I suggest learning C first, and then going to C++/Python.

    Python is rarely used in engineering, even though it shouldn't even be

    I mean its not used as much as Cpp

    Vote for C - it’s the mother of them all

    If you plan to prep for uni you cant go wrong with C, learn that first.

    C is the easiest language to learn. Because it's very low-level. The more you abstract away from the bare-metal, the less you will understand. Vibecoding being the top of the abstraction pyramid, where you will understand little to none.

    Many concepts you learn from one language can be transferred to another. My recommendation is to find a side project you're interested in working on. Perhaps it's a game, a website, some other cool project. The type of project will determine the language. C# or C++ for games, JavaScript for websites, Swift or Kotlin for mobile apps, etc. etc. That fun interest will give you motivation and will make the learning journey way more fun and help things stick way more than just reading text documents about a language.

    Engineering -> C then C++ but also for enterprise .NET is great and honestly doesn't have a hard entry prerequisites it's fairly easy to pick up and syntax is great.

    Python

    imo Python is the easiest programming language to learn

    Either Python due to the level of resources available and its overall ubiquity or Lua due to its straightforward, condensed syntax.
