Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

submitted by

I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don’t feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

Lmao. First, everyone is right. Go is serious. An Zig as well. And a bit niche.

Furthermore: Yes. Unless you like learning curves as steep as a brick wall… You should probably start with something beginner friendly.

And you should get some kind of book to learn it. That’s easier and faster than poking around and learning things in random order.

As an adult, just skip the programming languages made for children. And skip the crazy ones like PHP. Go for something that is both useful and doesn’t come with 5 bazillion things to learn at once, and as many exceptions to those rules.
