Newfag

I'm a newfag programmer, so I don't have any experience, whatsoever. In other words, I'm a newfag still in the womb. What would be a good programming language to start on? I'm a mathematician, so I don't necessarily need huge 'user friendly' things.

Any idiot can "visualize their program in terms of the high-level tasks it will be accomplishing". That doesn't even take a programmer, any retarded MBA monkey can do it.

Difference between said retards and the EXPERT PROGRAMMER is that the latter knows how computers work and can therefore devise an effective and elegant way of implementing his program instead of just feeding crap to a bloated super high level toy language.
