Which language is the best to learn?

A partial list of the most popular programming languages in May of 2017 includes programming languages with names like Java, C, C++, Python, C#, Visual Basic, and Java Script.

We started with the assumption that all computer languages have similar goals and that programmers would use similar tools to get the job done. A little investigation supported our assertion. Every one of these popular languages uses variables, conditionals, arrays, loops and functions…. They use different rules to structure the programs, different syntax.

Python was chosen because it is powerful and its user friendly commands help the newbie decipher the code.
