See the discussion here:

- [is it possible to learn julia without knowing any other computer language? - #3 by Tamas\_Papp](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-it-possible-to-learn-julia-without-knowing-any-other-computer-language/14430/3)

There are definitely teaching materials (even [whole books](https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html)) oriented towards teaching Julia as a first programming language.
