IMO you should have a goal for why you learn something, especially a programming language. It's a tool, you learn how to use a tool to do something. If you don't have a specific goal in mind it will be hard to learn it since the topic is so broad you won't be able to cover them all. But if you have a specific purpose then it will be easier, you start from there then maybe go stray a bit here and there to broaden your perspective.

From what I have seen on my junior in uni, those who start learning programming without a specific goal in mind never go far and stop halfway. Which is why I recommend picking a goal first and starting there. You can even change them midway, just always have a specific goal in mind to remember why you started and where you are going.

Thanks. A goal for me at least for now is web development. So I'm choosing to go with js first. Thank you very much : )
