Hi, everyone

TL;DR - post below your suggestion for a good programming language for an almost-rookie teacher/educator/writer to start using.

More info: I am trying to decide on which programming language to learn. I know my way around HTML and CSS from being active online, but haven’t done much programming apart from this. I write, teach, and work with digital teaching/learning products a lot. In 2021, I think there will be plenty of time for me to start working with programming. I don’t mean just “learn to code” - I mean using the language(s) as an educator/writer/publisher. Libre / open source context preferred. Which languages look like they fit the bill, Lemmy?

    Python, Javascript, Rust

    Python - probably the easiest language to learn, big in the science community

    Javascript - probably the easiest language to learn if you’re either impatient or a visual learner, easy to start as a beginner and set up and get visual feedback, if you make stuff with it to teach it’s the most likely to reach a large audience

    Rust - cool and efficient language
