What kind of programming language syntax is more helpful for someone absolutely new to programming, with no prior experience?

  • Something innovative that makes explaining concepts incredibly easy
  • Something more traditional that they can apply to a lot of languages when they move on

Feel free to give reasons down below!

It's a great question. I picked “Traditional” because it helps with expectation management.

We definitely should make it more accessible, but programming isn't for everyone and that's fine.
