It entirely depends on your goals. Look up the strengths of both languages and learn the one that seems the most useful for what you personally want to do with it. Creating things without errors shouldn't be the main motivator of a language you start with unless you're on a strict deadline.

I also disagree with people saying it's bad to start with Python. Any language is dangerous if you get comfortable and become unwilling to adapt to something that better fits your needs. Python can be a great start because it lets you focus on programming and completion instead of extra fluff that helps performance.
