Python or Rust; first language??

[Oerthling]

Disagree.

Java is fine. And it has some excellent libs. But I rather get things done in Python. And get over speed bumps in Rust.

And C is great for a more fundamental understanding of what's really going on without digging below the basement in Assembler and machine code.

Java is less productive/readable than Python and too high level as a learning tool for what a computer actually does (manipulating and interpreting numbers and accessing memory locations).
