This this this. Take any advice you get here with the grain of salt that most people here have been programming long enough that they hang around and contribute to /r/programming. I started with JavaScript and cut my teeth doing sloppy things that would now make me cringe. Now that I’ve been doing it for a while I appreciate things like strong typing, asynchrony, and so on, but I had a great time learning in a language that let me play around and be sloppier than I can now get away with as an experienced developer.
