Hello peeps. As someone who hasn't been lucky enough to be immersed into the world of programming when he was young, and has a hard time getting into it with net ressources, I need an easy and fast-learning language to start off with.
Any recommendations? Cheers!

I know what you mean. I tried to start with Sepples two years ago. I gave up, thinking it was complex stuff. I started again with SICP and lisp three months ago and I already know Scheme and Haskell, and I am learning C with easy now.

I started with PHP (ick)
Did Java, Perl and C at university. Currently enjoying Python.

What the hell do you think "scripting" means?

Don't worry about that, he's read SICP and dropped his name since.

If you've watched the Live SICP Lectures feat. Hal Abelson and GJ. Sussman, you would know it's actually pronounced could-er (as in, a cow chews its cdr)

Assembly on a microcontroller. I'm dead serious, that'll teach you everything you'll ever need to know and even though you won't use it later, you'll think about how everything under your high-level shit works.

Microcontroller Assembly. If I may be serious for a moment, it would surely teach you everything you actually need to know. Despite the fact that the probability of you using this information again is low

C is a great language to start with. Completely open libraries, shitloads of existing code, and the entire language can be summarised with its keywords.

C is very small. Therefore it's an ideal language to learn; one can increase the depth at will.

C is good to study.
But since its 2008, don't take it seriously.

So yeah, I'm planning to learn C (read SICP a week ago), but since it's dying, what is the substitute? Anything besides Java/Sepples?

Yeah, quantum will be about as useful as reversible computing. no runtime IO or loops
