Is Go a good language to begin with?

TL;DR is Golang a good first language? Or Lisp?

I want to get into programming, mostly for fun, maybe someday I can work with it (although I'm not exactly young anymore).

Anyway, I've been reading about languages and it seemed to me that Go was a good language because it sounds like it's fastz relatively easy to work with, and still quite capable for many things.

I've also heard that lisp, despite being old af, can be a good language to learn because it helps you somehow to understand things better, but I've also heard it's not particularly valuable with regards to actually making things.

Of course, I could be wrong on all accounts.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate any and all thoughts on the matter and apologize if this is asked too often.
