greek alphabet

C if you are not a brainlet

It depends on what the beginner wants to do.

Look at what you want to do with programming and learn the language with the most documentation around it.

the one you can get help with.
because believe me, if you're a beginner, you're going to need help.

I would also say this, it gives you a good introduction to general programming ideas while also having a fairly easy syntax for a beginner.

Python is eternally cucked tho

le low key Jow Forums thread

sage

python 2 is fine though. learn python 2!

Learn C so you can produce a program that reads a csv file into a list of lists and sum the columns after 3 days of fighting with the compiler about bad pointers. Then once you have fixed the pointers you can now search for the memory leaks. How awesome!

Most people want to program to do cool things with computers, not win the approval of a bunch of idiot 1st year CS students or fizzbuzz hobbyists.

there are two routes: C or Python
C if you want a more thorough understanding of the system, expect to engage in more demanding, performance-based tasks etc
Python if you just want to write code that runs and don't care for efficiency, expect to get into problems based more on file handling and prototyping

Only if you're incompetent.

This is the standard of debate on Jow Forums in 2018. People like you should be banned because you contribute nothing to this board and you derail every thread you touch with your constant advertising for languages that you probably know how to fizzbuzz in.

>expect to engage in more demanding, performance-based tasks
Unless someone is going to do something like extreme low-latency processing or stuff in OpenGL or video processing, there is no point in someone even considering C/C++ as a first language.

C++

Once you learn it, you can learn just about anything.

Do you want to be a;

>systems programmer
>computer scientist
> a *real* programmer
Learn C

>app developer
>web developer
Learn python/java/C# etc.

as Dijkstra said many times,

>The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities.

Once you train your thinking with python, you cannot go back and start over with C and expect to think like a systems programmer or computer scientist.

If you start with C though, you can happily use python later, there's nothing wrong with using python for parsing text files, gluing some tools etc.

after ten years, but by then there will be a completely new standard C++30.
