What code language to learn at first

2 pointsa_bytecycle3 comments

I have toyed with Vanilla JS in the past and like the syntax, I have also looked into Python. I do not have a specific niche I plan to work in just want to be well rounded. What would you all recommend I learn first?

Python is a good choice.

It is probably the best language for passing Leetcode style interviews

Thank you for the feedback! :)

Well-rounded is a heck of a term. If you want to learn fundamentals, in terms of how a computer actually works, learn c. There’s a lot of different programming paradigms. But if you actually want to understand what’s happening underneath it all, so that things don’t seem like magic, the best place to begin is at the bottom.
