My friend told me to start with Python instead of C++
He said it would be less frustrating for a total beginner, and after trying both for a week last month, he was completely right. I actually built a simple number guessing game in Python, while I was still stuck on compiler errors with C++. What was the best piece of starter language advice you got?

Doubt it matters that much in the long run. You'll hit frustrating walls in any language eventually, lol. Just pick one and stick with it.

But what if the walls in some languages are way higher? Like trying to learn Finnish cases vs Spanish verb tenses.

My cousin told me the exact same thing about Python three years ago. I tried C++ first and spent a whole weekend just trying to get "Hello World" to print without a linker error. Switched to Python and had a basic text adventure game running in an afternoon. That early win kept me from giving up completely.
