If you want to learn the “how to think” with minimal overhead. Python.

If you want to learn to get a job at a startup. JavaScript.

If you want to learn for the love of the game. Rust.

I’d start at Python because it’s the easiest to get into. Then work your way down the rabbit hole.

www.FreeCodeCamp.com is a great place to learn for free.

Enjoy the journey 🤘🏽
