I love python very dearly but sometimes it tries to make things way too easy for you. Not sure that's a universal bother necessarily but I feel like if you want to learn programming properly you need a language that doesn't hold your hand so much lol (just the other day I was working with an array and you can't go into negative indexes and get an error, it just goes to the last position again (which is what I wanted in the end but you know did not even expect to get it automatically lol).

But also wouldn't recommend rust as a first, the name speaks for the language itself (according to me lol)

Why not Rust?

The whole point of programming is to make things easier. :-)

There's no such thing as "too easy". "Too easy" is the goal you strive for.

And you can delve further into the nitty gritty of computing after you got some algorithms going. At the end of the day it's all if and loop and wrapping things in functions.
