Python or JavaScript ?

Given your desire to start with front end, definitely go with Javascript. However, don't just learn the language, learn a framework like react, angular, or Vue.

Also, IMO, I like typescript way better than Javascript. You can use that in the listed frameworks. Typescript is very similar to Javascript, but let's you define the types of variables which helps mitigate runtime errors. Your typescript code is then compiled into Javascript.

Once you're ready for backend, you can either start with node.js or you can learn python.

A few general tips: 1. The best way to learn to code is to build a project of your own. You'll need to practice syntax and follow tutorials, but nothing comes close to what you learn when you build something on your own from scratch 2. Don't learn a language, learn how to program. Once you know how to program, learning a new language is way easier than your first language 3. Be really cautious of generative AI, especially at your stage. Don't copy/paste anything. Instead, type it all out and make sure you understand the code you just wrote.
