RE: How to start in the programming language

[laxam]

C/C++ are too complex newbies IMHO... Picking up something like Python or JavaScript might be a better option.

I don't get why people suggest those languages. Python has the crazy whitespace issue while JavaScript is hard to just dive into unless you use a website like Codepen (http://codepen.io). I'd suggest Java or C# as a first language.

What's "crazy whitespace issue"?

Also:

1. install nodejs
2. echo "console.log('Hello World!')" > hello.js
3. node hello.js
   and you just wrote and executed "Hello World" in javascript. How would that list look with Java? ;)
