Just a heads up for anyone picking their first coding language

I had to choose between starting with Python or JavaScript. I went with Python because the syntax felt simpler, and it let me build a basic calculator in my first afternoon. Has anyone else found one language way easier to start with?

JavaScript is better for beginners because you see results right in your browser, no setup needed.

Started with Python myself because the syntax reads almost like plain English. The immediate feedback in a browser is nice, but getting stuck on JavaScript's quirks early on was frustrating. Python let me focus on basic programming logic without fighting the language. I used the official tutorial and wrote my first script in an afternoon. That solid start made learning JavaScript later much easier.
