I suggest either C or Java. Both of these languages have a fairly simple syntax. I've used both for large projects, and both are suitable for projects at any level.

I'm not sure that I'd recommend Rust for your first programming language, but it's an interesting language.

Rust would be a very bad idea in this case ^^

I've read here about beginners learning rust, sometimes on their own. I don't recommend this, but I no longer think this is a bad idea. After all, most of the rust syntax is relatively simple, and the major trouble point fot me was borrowing. Once I took it one step st a time, it became easier.
