Don't be a faggot please, not only is LISP old, not only is it used only by neckbeards, but it's a terrible language to learn for a beginner.
Every language has design problems, the point is that Python is a widely used, mostly well designed language, it is used a lot both by the academia and in the "real" world and it is easy to learn.
Don't listen to the language fanatics, a lot of people here will recommend commonlisp or another functionnal language. The point is that you want to start with an imperative language, e.g: Python, C, Java etc..
In my opinion Python is a
very good starting point.
