For instance, I hate C# but not for any rational reason- I hate it simply because I hate .NET and C# depends on it. Python is my personal recommendation for first language, though nothing is wrong with Java either if you're any good at coding in it (most people aren't, giving it an undeserved reputation of being a bad language when it actually does some pretty revolutionary things like JIT compilation). If you'd like to do things in hard mode, you could try C (but not C++, for reasons explained here: <a href="http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/" title="http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/" rel="nofollow external">http://yosefk.com/c++fqa/</a> possibly #<span class="tag"><a href="http://rainbowdash.net/tag/nsfw" rel="tag">nsfw</a></span>, I can't remember if it contains strong language or not so I'm tagging it just in case).
