This is a question that has come up repeatedly on this forum. See the previous discussions, for example:

- [Can i start out with Julia as my 1st coding language](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/can-i-start-out-with-julia-as-my-1st-coding-language/115663)
- [Julia as first language](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-as-first-language/104383)
- [Learning Julia for scientists who are beginning programmers](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/learning-julia-for-scientists-who-are-beginning-programmers/108638)

My answer is that it doesn’t matter much — learn whatever you have easy access to, because you’re going to want to learn additional languages anyway: [Can i start out with Julia as my 1st coding language - #5 by stevengj](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/can-i-start-out-with-julia-as-my-1st-coding-language/115663/5)
