It's shit. Start with something like Python, Ruby or Scheme/Racket instead. After that, try C/C++ to get a slightly better understanding of how the machine works.

I would learn Java, though getting old. It's easy to learn and the main bulding blocks of the language are found in any other programming language. Furthermore it's quite similar to C#. But If you want to get a job you have to dive deeper in the ecosystem. Learn Frameworks, stuff like gradle, maybe kotlin. Do some research if you want to find a job. But Java is a good startibg point.

Yeah it isn't the best. But the learning curve is high. And Python has a more distinct syntax which makes the transition between languages harder if you're a beginner. Ruby. Is good for web programming. If you want to go into that field, but then sure go for Ruby. C++ in my opinion is just too much if you're starting out. The language has too much to offer. As i said above. Start with Java, do some Job research and then make transition.

>try python, ruby

modern languages with the beginners charm fall apart quickly when you move to advanced stuff.

start with c/c++ , then java.
