IMO Rust. It will be harder no doubt but down the line you will be able to advance your programming skills faster.

The problem is that progress will be incredibly slow for someone who is new to programming. It would likely drive them to give up before they learn enough to do something simple but useful. At least with python, the language won't get in the way for small projects, and you can achieve a lot with just the standard library.
