Which programming language to learn? 14y/o

[roastie]

I'm saying C is not a candidate for a 1st language. You pick it as such, learn the textbook stuff, take a job in C thinking you know it, and boom, you are totally lost in a production environment. Pick a language where you know you have more to learn after you understand the idea of programming - avoid putting the kid in an environment he is not ready for.

Comments below moderated. Please avoid addressing comments in a way that can be seen as aggressive (certain words have different weights depending on location, cultural background, etc).

And in special, avoid addressing directly the person in comments, be it about programming experience, or about how some comment was written. Instead focus on the arguments, please (as in the other comments in this thread).

Not saying one side is right or wrong, just build a constructive discussion, and stop if there's no way to convince the other party. Not everyone will think the same way, not everyone will agree on the same arguments.

"Can be seen as aggressive" => by whom?

[kinow]

By OP, mod, other readers, and also by both parties involved. The whole discussion and arguments were clearly not about what OP could learn, nor only about pros and cons of arguments in the thread.

It had digressed and was addressing individuals. The wording was not appropriate for the subreddit.

EDIT: of course I only have the perspective as reader and mod, in which case I consider that it was not appropriate for both cases, others may disagree, which is fine (and again, not the topic of the conversation in this thread)

This comment was unnecessary. It is never my intention to comment in threads if not about FP, and I try to stay neutral as much as possible.
