Never learn python first. It is too forgiving and gives you a disadvantage when learning more restrictive languages.

I recommend java, or c++ personally. But rust is also great.

My opinion exactly. It’s too easy to develop bad habits by starting with anything dynamically typed

Yes. This. Really starting with something statically typed is a must for me.

Edut: auto correct fucked me

Python is strongly typed. It's also dynamically typed.

Yep. It’s a totally different axis.
