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?

Python is designed as an easy language. Yet it is a fundemental important language in the IT, backbone of many Linux operating systems and servers. One could even say... a serious language.

I personally wouldn't care if a language is called "easy" or not. You should also look at what it is capable at its peak and where it is used most often, if it works for you. Pick the language that you think fits you the best. I wouldn't call Zig as an easy language to get into, its still low level language.

    Try uninstalling Python from Ubuntu and see what happens. (Do NOT actually try this.)
