I’m completely new to programming. Which language is best to start with, and why?
There’s no single “best” programming language for beginners it really depends on what you want to do and how you like to learn.
That said, many beginners start with Python because the syntax is simple and readable, so you can focus more on logic than syntax rules. It’s commonly used for automation, data, AI, and backend basics, which makes it flexible early on.
Some people prefer JavaScript since it lets you see results quickly in the browser and is useful for web development. Others start with Java to build strong fundamentals like object-oriented programming, even though it feels more strict at first.
In the end, the best language is the one that helps you understand core concepts variables, loops, conditions, functions and keeps you motivated to practice. Once those basics are clear, switching languages becomes much easier.

I will be honest with you, when you start your programming journey your sole purpose should always lie on understanding the basics for example: how the logic flows, how loops and conditional statements actually works and where and how data structures are implemented in optimizing the code.
#P.S - If you really don’t want to struggle with syntax complexity then here are top 3 programming languages you can start with: JavaScript, Python and GoLang.
