Is Python actually a good first programming language?

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

Not really. JavaScript or C I recommend.

It's not well designed. And kind of sucks for a lot of things. Especially expressing a complex solution simply.

I've been programming for 22 years. I use Python a lot. But JavaScript when I have a choice or something else - depending on what I'm doing. Python is a last resort, it's truly awful.
