*Advice for aspiring developer*

I am a complete beginner to programming and my long-term goal is to become a software engineer. My current situation: - No prior programming experience - Using Visual Studio Code - Interested in building real-world projects (web, apps, or backend) - Planning to learn data structures and algorithms later I’m not asking for “the best” language in general, but for guidance on: - Which language has the best learning curve for beginners - Which language provides a strong foundation for software engineering concepts - Which language is commonly used in entry-level software engineering roles Based on these constraints, which language would be most appropriate to start with, and why?
