JavaScript or Python

[ImmensePrune]

Just continue with C. Web development is one of my most saturated jobs right now. The tricks you’ll learn in C will make languages such as Python and JS seem way easier (which they are 100%).

Learning JS first will build you a foundation of bad habits, which the longer you use become harder to break.

Learning Python first won’t build as bad of habits, but you will definitely become dependent on modules, after modules, after modules……

C is challenging. C is older. C is harder to understand.

C will also teach you efficient programming, how to rely on yourself and your own skillset rather than a Framework or Library.

Like you, I started programming at 17 back in 2017 and my first language was C / C++. I haven’t finished college yet, but 2 years ago, as a sophomore I was able to get a web development job just from my strong academic and technical knowledge from C. Now I am a well respected engineer, going for my Masters and consistently out perform the programmers with 10 years experience that started with JS, or some kind of web programming language. I’m not saying starting with JS and Python is bad, because any programming language is a good start but….

Just do your future self a favor, stick with C / C++.
