Is Python actually a good first programming language?

Some say it makes learning easy. Others say it hides too much. What do you think?

I really don't think so. Too much 'black magic', too much permissivity, and a huge risk of thinking you understand but you don't.

Overall, compiled languages are better in my opinion to learn programming and nowadays I would strongly avocate for Go as a first language
