What are the best languages

[Handmand]

It all depends on what you wanna do  . For example for AI are R ,Matlabs, and Python are frequently used. a good language to start on is python it’s more simple than the others and will give you a good understanding of lessons like data structures and algorithms before getting into a more complex  syntax language such as Java.
Hope this helped.

Python and javascript

[Omega Ictos]

Depends on what you want to do. C++ isn't going away any time soon & it's probably the best for any serious applications. However, it's not an easy language to learn. I gather Python's quite a popular language for education, not used it myself yet though.

I started off using BASIC but that's really gone out of fashion. These days, my advice would be to get a Raspberry Pi & run through some of the programming tutorials available for that.

On top of that, learning javascript aside python is very helpful, as they are more or less similar and work on different places. For example you can use python for what you want, and write a back/front end for that with JS.
