i would say start with python if it is your first time scripting as python is easy to learn and understand from there you can almost pick up any other language with somewhat essy

It is common for beginners to start their programming journey with scripting languages like Python, MATLAB etc. However, I would recommend you not to follow this path, but to start with a language characterized by strict syntax (like C, C++, Java etc.) in order to understand the fundamental cycle of programming, which is "writing code -> compiling -> executing". This will help you get a solid programming background and also understand the difference between scripting and compiler-based languages. If I were you, I would start with a non object oriented programming language like C, then I would move on with object oriented programming languages like C++ and Java and after that I would try to learn a scripting language like Python. Unfortunately, most of the online courses and tutorials follow the other way around, which in my opinion is more confusing and constitutes the main reason that most of the beginners worship Python (and its relatives) and passionately blame any other non-scripting programming language. :P
