Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

    I mean, they’ll probably learn more from C. But please. You can do better than javascript. At least teach them python or something.

      JS is actually pretty great as a language these days.

      It doesn’t have to imply NPM hell. And it’s got normal syntax and doesn’t do Python’s weird meaningful-indentation thing.

      (It does have the == typecasting weirdness though.)
