Python.
I have never seen developers recommending newbies to learn python as first language. They usually preach what is based on stackoverflow crap data. Python is one good language that can make you working on serious stuff pretty quickly compared to other languages.
Recently data science industry adopted it so it's back in light again. But for web development people wasted a lot of time on java and asp.net for years, they could have made frameworks with python instead. I also like Python community because they don't go on hate mode on other languages. Otherwise there seems to be a lot of hate from the language communities like Rust, Go and Web Assembly. It feels good to be part of community where they do their own thing and don't preach the hate.
Apart from python, I'd also say PHP, C# and Ruby don't get much recommendations either. But Job boards show you the truth about real market demand, instead of what people recommend in communities and forums.
