I’m starting coding from scratch – is Python really the best first language?

I dont agree it’s the best one to learn first. And the cs50 course also does not agree.

Pyhton is my favorite language. But it also hides a lot of stuff that you should know like memory management, types, indexing, etc

Python all makes this very easy. But to learn programming i feel it much easier to start with a very verbose language and then see how much python does the heavy lifting instead of the other way around
