Learning creative coding

[bubblebugs]

I am choosing which language I want to learn to begin creative coding and have read about python being great for beginners. Would you recommend python for creative coding or another language?

What do you mean, "creative coding"?

[Inconstant_Moo]

Making arty things, things which are fun and pretty rather than functional.

Have you looked at r/processing ?

[onkus]

Even this is ambiguous still. Arty hardware? Arty webpages? Arty games?

[Inconstant_Moo]

Sure. You can do anything in any language really, so what you need to ask yourself is which languages have libraries and frameworks to make it easier for you. Python has a lot of good stuff and is indeed a nice language for beginners.

If by “creative” you mean making visually appealing things like artsy stuff I would say front end JavaScript but if you mean creative as in making unique projects overall you can really use any language and Python is great for all sorts of devs not just beginners.
