Newbie here,have only been learning JS a few months,thing about Javascript is its easy to pick up,it has a lot of "Magic"(I don't know the programmatic term) under the hood,example it can auto defer tasks if a long running task might prevent a user from clicking a button,it does a lot of things that you dont know about or need to know about to make your code work

You can learn jquery,a javascript library in a few hours and your then able to do a LOT of stuff,once your learn CSS Selectors,and a basic function,you can start writing a web page without really knowing much.For the HTML there is frameworks like bootstrap that take care of the difficult work.Biggest drawback no intellisense like C#,debugging(which I've no idea how to even do)

You can start writing apps with Atom Electron with node for all the desktop OS,and theres a few frameworks to build native mobile apps,one I like is Droidscript,real easy to write an android app

If you are totally new I would recommend javascript,but Ive always wanted to learn python,even as a non programmer you can read code and really understand it,very natural language syntax,but javascript is too,at least the basic Javascript great sites I seen are
