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?

    Because it is a scripting language and not compiled, I have run into errors that a compiled language would have detected before even starting.

    Use type hints. Pyright in strict mode. (Don’t use mypy, it’s much worse.)

    I agree though, it is poorly suited to larger applications. Mainly because of its glacial speed.
