Elm. It is niche -- focused on UI programming. But it would have exposed me to the practice of programming with pure functions much earlier, since the language requires that. I think I would not have tried to avoid programming early in my professional career if I had started with Elm. And I would have had a good base to start from when I learn other languages.

What an interesting choice. Thanks for sharing! I would never have thought about it.
