For me, at the time, that is 2014, Python was really recommended for beginners and I came to that fact when I wrote my first hello world.
print("Hello, World!")
What about you?
Microsoft BASIC quickly followed by Turbo Pascal.
I began with pascal it was on university in 2006, then Java, C++ in 2010 I did a online php course. It was good because in 2012 I finally get a job as trainee.
Started with PHP in like 2006, then JavaScript later when needed for freelance gigs as a pre-teen. To give an idea about the timeline, also had to do some ActionScript 3 (i.e. Adobe Flash) dev for my little projects at the time. Had a class in high school which used Java. Baby's first systems language was C, and I for sure learned more about computing from K&R than I ever had prior from any resource.
Gave Go a go after C (never really used C for anything other than homework) to explore other options for low-level programming. Loved it, made some cool shit, and forgot how it works. Thinking about distributed systems got me obsessed with Erlang OTP for a hot minute there. Surely don't remember how that works now.
Had to learn me some Haskell after my deep dive into Erlang, but never fully grasped it. Python I never really used much outside of doing homework, same with Java, but use them from time to time in code challenges and whatnot (like homework of friends who don't really want to learn programming, but enrolled in a class they can't afford to fail). Learned Processing to make things happen with my Arduino, then again to make things happen on my screen.
Professionally for my day job, I now write C#, VB and SQL in addition to Web tech. It's a shame now, though, that the only languages I really know (as in, whose libraries and constructs are fresh in memory) are the ones I use at work. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
If we count childhood experiments, itสผs BASIC on a C64 and later on a PC using QBasic.
It was awesome. I could do anything the language provided. I did unimaginable things on the character console using 80x25 โresolutionโ on a CGA monitor (or so i thought as a child).
If we only count professional career, itสผs Perl. I programmed the whole website of my high school using Perl CGI (and later converted it to PHP).
Professionally: it was 2004 on Java(Java Swing to be specific argghhh...).
Engineering: C, C++, VB, SQL
School: BASIC
So, BASIC was the first programming language I tried out, wow age old!
If you consider it a programming language, it was QBasic. My first real programming language was C++
I started with VB6 and Java way back in college. Way back 2014. But I never used or pursue using the language.
Python - only started roughly half way through 2017, I'm new but enjoying it thoroughly!
Hashnode is an informative site unique london private tours . I think it is really for clarifying your computer programming based doubts. They provide a detail explanation of each topic. Coming to the topic, I used the C programming language to write my first program.

Elan (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELAN_(programming_language) ), then Python, then GML (Game Maker Language), and I think PHP was next. I did a little bit of Basic, not sure where on the timeline that was...
I'd count all that as 'learning the basics of programming' phase, it wasn't very intensive at that time but I already liked switching projects and languages before anything was finished...
(I wish Wikipedia wouldn't put parentheses in their urls, too much trouble with Markdown)
I started with PHP and I still very much work with it.
2005, C++. 2008, PHP.
C++ I attended a course paid for by a friend's mother. If I hadn't done that, I probably wouldn't be programming today.
We programmed a calculator. In 2008 I worked with PHP on the side and developed a website for a game clan that was like Facebook and like on Ebay you had the possibility to trade with other members (old games, etc.).
Today I still prefer to work with PHP. But I also write Javascript and other things. Since I mainly work with WordPress, PHP.
2013, C. Most brutal language you can get according to me. A single Hello world program is the most pathetic program that I ever wrote in that 16 bit code editor. But after learning about JavaScript and Python, the world is little easy for me now.
I think I started with PHP somewhere between 2009-2010

I started with C. Progressed to C++ Fell in love with Python
