I personally believe JavaScript and python are the languages of the future...
I believe so too. They're versatile and unlike Java and C languages, they're not verbose.

I started with Java and ended up being a king of fullstack C# .Net technology

Because it was the first a book I bought advised me to learn then I one day asked myself "how are compilers made?" went beating around the bush with a little theory I could not even understand, wrote a little rubbish with C#, but the problem was that I wanted to learn graphics programming and C# was slow and not good enough for that so I had to learn C++ the dreaded ugly language, then I heard of a language faster and "harder" (a lie obviously) and I came to know C and love it.
Wow C language is actually my first PL

None! I wanna start now!!! Any help?
I will advice you to learn C|C++ | Java as your first language but I strongly recommend C++ because it has all the features of C and also an OOP. It’s also the best PL for competitve programming which will help you tackle technical interview questions.

Yah. After learning C, learning other PL will be a piece of cake.

Javascript and Python

Javascript is the only programming language that gives python a run for it's money.. Most programmers don't see javascript as a very good language but why I find javascript so impressive is cos it is the language of web browsers so demand for it will remain high for the foreseeable future!
The disadvantage is it can only be used in Web development.

Python on the other hand is the fastest growing programming language in the world....It is very flexible .The only disadvantage I see in Python is you can't use it for front-end web development or front-end app development..



Lols... People will just write what they don't know.

So you know, JavaScript is being used outside the scope of web development, and you can use Python to write front-end apps.

Visual Basic 6.0 grin I had to dump it because I was doing it because others were doing it but something about the web world always piqued me.
I remember asking myself various question while registering for JAMB exam online.

It is funny as you are learning one, another one come around to edge that one you are learning. I've come to realise that if you no passion for programming, you'd be left behind.

Yea we did, fortunately.

As for embedded systems, we didn't go too deep into it, except for those that chose related electives.

We are in a digital world, the way you register your jamb and waec is now different compared to b4, programming is the profession of the future, so people comparing MS word and programming languages dont know what they are saying, try and watch foreign TV stations and you will know that we still have a long way to go in dis country ... programming can never be pure water, its actually meant for strong minds,

Nice!
So are you very familiar with the C language, say advanced or intermediate level?
I heard it's very different to learn.

Dumped it right after the sem. Went more into python.

Different how? C syntax is kinda similar to Java in my opinion.
