A new kid on the block compared to some other languages in this list, Python is extremely easy to learn and is a dynamic, all-purpose language. Although more popular as a back end language, it can do pretty much anything you want it to. Designed with the goal of being readable, simple, and most of all fun, this is a new favourite of developers in all areas of the industry and is the number one ‘beginner’ language to learn. It’s flexible and extremely powerful, and has a very bright future.
