My first real programming language was Java back in 2013 (I'm only 21) when I picked up Java to try and make a mod for Minecraft. I ended up making a mod or two that did almost nothing and never figured out how to enact my grand plan of a mod, (long story), but it was a great experience regardless. I then moved on to more Java doing some work my high school's new FIRST robotics team and concurrently starting my web development career. I promptly picked up HTML, CSS, JS, and a touch of SQl. As the web goes I also learned generic XML and JSON, but those aren't exactly languages. Fast forward to college, and so far we've done Java, C, MIPS Assembly, and more C.
In my own time I've decided to work on my web development side as I actually love Javascript, though I will add I'm glad I'm in the JS world now and not 10 years ago.
As far as the best starting language, I feel it's whatever language is best suited for the thing you want to make, though purely from a language analysis perspective, I do really like Java because, while it is not a systems programming language, it is very strongly typed and declarative, and IDEs like Eclipse make getting started extremely easy.
