Starting to code

[Northadox]

Though I'm not as versed as the others who have posted here, I'd recommend just going with C and just starting with some projects you're interested in. C is a very rigid sort of language, and lacks many of the abstractions that other, higher-level languages have. Writing programs in it may be a struggle at first, but it will offer you good insights and knowledge in just how programs operate; it has an elegance in its simplicity. Recommendations like Python are understandable, but using it may build bad habits in other programming languages.

Ultimately, it all depends on what you're interested in. Languages are built for different purposes, but if you wanna get started, roll with C and go from there.
