I think C/C++ is too hard for beginners. The cognitive load will be too high, and many could drop programming because of that.
Learning with a higher level language (python, for example) for a total beginner can help him understand the basics without the language (including the syntax) going in his way.
When the developer begin to be efficient with the tools he needs to develop in a company, without understanding deeper what they really do, that's when he could be more interested to go down the abstraction stack.
