I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don’t feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

    I try to only write in easy language if I can. My favorite one is Lean4.

    There’s lots of this vs that discussion in this thread. IMO the most useful such distinction I’ve encountered is languages that encourage you to think about data vs languages that encourage you to think about transformations (of data). Excel and modern OOP are the former while haskell and digital signal processing are the latter.
