Hmm, I believe that one that isn't familiar with programming at all should go with Python. The language is relatively simple and will really help to understand basic concepts of programming at the beginning. When one becomes good enough with Python, they should pick some more strict language for their further learning. Something like C#, Java, C++, C. These languages will really just bring more clarity in programmer's mind about classes, data types, low-level stuff, etc. Also, I hope they are more suitable for some big projects unlike Python (no hate to Python!), so you're more likely to find a job or build some really complex programs with them (unless you're a data scientist or ML engineer). As to me, an ideal path for becoming an application programmer (only in terms of programming languages) is Python -> C#. But it's just my little opinion, learn whatever you want, it only matters if you like it. But don't forget to be a good engineer, not just a language junky! >:)

Yes Yes Agree with you :)
