My biggest head ache now is getting vs code to run all these languages without complications. If you know a better IDE that can run all the languages without issues pls share.

Right now learning the languages isn't the issue, I have conquered basic Python, C++ and JavaScript no problem. I just want an IDE to be able to traverse them easily.
Wow, nice. However if I ask you to build something a little bit complex like a simple game with movement, could you do it in python? If no then I think you have more work to do as I said before, stick to one language and master it. Then you can easily switch to any other language later on

tensazangetsu20, Fourpockets, chukwuebuka65, GREATIGBOMAN, qtguru, RepoMan007, etc. Pls help me, I need to know a good IDE to run these languages together, so I can switch from one to the other more easily. My VS Code has become slow and problematic. The languages are not the issue for me currently, running them is.
To clarify, I've been learning for sometime now, I just want to start hands on practical now. Thank you.
Vscode can run all your LANGUAGES without complications.

If u want one which is faster but with limited features, try sublime.

C++ I will advise using CLion
Python use PyCharm
JavaScript use WebStorm

VSCode is not bad, but nothing compares to Jetbrain IDE it's native, fast tons of developmental tools ,everything you need within a single environment.

I use it for work and my personal business.

You go love am I swear wink

Thank you bro. Seems VS Code is the only IDE that runs all the languages. In that case I will use each one for its own language. I have Pytharm and Jupyter note book already, Clion is a paid IDE.

No, to do that I need to learn to use the library for that like pygame etc. for now I am getting used to the syntax of all the languages first.

Oh in that case, Download Intelli J Community Edition, it comes with plugins for each of those, any IDE can run any language as long as the Language Service is installed.

Some months ago I decided to drop animations and go into programming, a path I've always admired. So far it hasn't been easy, first month was highly depressing, excruciatingly frustrating. I started with the Python language.

Now I have this insatiable hunger and need for more, I wanted to learn more languages even though I am still at my early stage with Python. So i decided to dive into more and now I am learning three more languages after Python, namely, JavaScript, C++, SQL. I plan on being proficient in all these languages by December.

Two biggest experiences I've had are:

1. Programming makes you more intelligent and persistent. You develop that attitude to always want to surmount or crack difficult problems, in real live.

2. Starting with one language makes it more, more easier to grasp the rest, maybe even all the others.

I think starting with python is a good idea, it is simple, is an OOP and also a Functional programming. With a lot of initial disappointments and plenty patience anybody can learn, just have plenty of DATA. Some people have made it seem as if learning programming is only for the biggest brains which isn't so. Make it a point to learn something each day and if you find any challenge drop the system for some time and do something else. Youtube and Google are good learning friends here.

My small start!
Why did u drop animations?

I didn't abandon it completely. But along the line I discovered I can do more with my system so I put animation on hold.

Thank you bro! Finally Someone who understands. And learning differ from person to person, by touching all these languages I am coming to understand one even more i.e Python. Now I'm understanding OOP in python even more by going through C++.

When my challenge time expires I know where to head to next. So far, it's a big work but I am loving it.
you really need to define what you want from all these combinations. What made you said you're learning oop in python even more by going through c++ ?
