tl;dr
When an enthusiastic novice asks what language to learn you should pretentiously tell them it doesn't matter because the majority in use today are similar and trace their roots to the same source.
For pretentious reasons we'll define that source as an *ur-*language because that's a defined prefix that nobody uses in reality so it's a great way to assert I'm more cleverer than you.
Now, here's a long rambling lesson on other ur-languages that nobody uses because they're overly complex but because I'm so much cleverer I clearly know them all.
To conclude I've ignored your original question but don't worry, here's a link to the programming course I sell.
Once you've completed your first you shouldn't bother putting it into practice but instead every year try a language completely unrelated to the first so it's extra difficult. Just ignore the fact it's guaranteed to be a dead language nobody uses in reality. it's more important to be different than have practical skills.
