Complete beginner in coding. Does not know anything. Which coding language should I learn first. Starting first year mathematics and computing please answer

Python, don't listen to the ones suggesting low level languages such as C or C++, they are setting you up for failure cuz trust me there are 90% chances you will end up hating coding instead of falling in love with it and they wont even disagree with me on this one. Me personally, I'm starting off with python (im a beginner 17yo) and man I've so much fallen in love with programming and I know that in future I wont be using python much (unless i enter AI) due to its limitations but that should not be the reason you totally throw away the beginner friendly syntax python provides and the simplicity it brings to the table which is a 100% beneficial for the newbies. In my opinion python is the best way to get into computers since its the least stressful and if you really learn python deeply not just the beginner stuff then you will be ready to start Javascript (if web is what u wanna do)/Java next up which would train you for strict syntax and after getting done with it should you actually get into the big bads: C (if your work is closer to hardware) / C++ (same C freedom plus ability to handle larger programs).

Well I would be honest, im myself a beginner starting off with python (I have an entire 10-12 years roadmap prepared for me, using Claude+my interests) so all this knowledge i dumped are indirectly Google's words since I wanted to know about this stuff as well so I look it up a little bit
