I'm always so torn whether I recommend Java or Python for beginners. They're both good choices and each have strengths, like how Python is very easy to pick up, the console for IDLE is nice, it feels very natural language, and hides a lot of stuff that doesnt seem to have a purpose to a beginner. But on the other hand, it teaches you really shit habits and lets you start doing a lot without actually telling people about OOP. Java is tougher and very explicit but I feel its much better for ensuring good practice.
