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?

    It’s not so much easy-difficult, it’s high-level-low-level. Low-level languages can be easy in the sense that you don’t have many entities to juggle (stacks, registers, etc.) and high-level languages can be miserable, like C++.
    Of you’re interested in starting with the fundamentals, go with C. If you just want to get something made, go with Claude Python.
