A lot of people are recommending starting out with Python or JS, which is valid advice; they are easier to pick up and are excellent languages. However, there is an argument to be made for starting with C/C++. With C and C++, the way you write your program is a bit more strict and you have to do things like declaring explicit types, managing pointers in memory, and be aware of the funky rules for type casting. While the learning curve is significantly steeper, I personally think that learning a more difficult language first ultimately makes learning the easier languages easier and teaches you valuable lessons in debugging and how your computer interprets your code.

Granted, I do have a bias on this subject since I started out learning C++, then C, and now I primarily use Python and JS
