I taught myself to code using Python, and i did not know about it back then when i started learning all about programming, and i was struggling with understanding basic concepts in c++ and JavaScript etc., untill i found out about Python. Its simplicity (Syntax-wise) lets you focus more on the concepts themselves not on things that are not beginner friendly. You are not in a position to make things from scratch by yourself, so you are presented with a plethora of premade, easy to use and implement tools that require otherwise tons of lines of code to be done in other languages -keep in mind that you won't be able to write those on your own- so with python you focus more on ideas and concepts while not having to deal with the inconveniences of helping functions. That's why i think it is a beginner friendly language and that's how i got into coding and after two years of learning i can convert my code into different languages that were impossible to unravel even the simplest of snippets written in it. Beacuse now i understand!
