I could be wrong but my gut instinct is that JavaScript is easily among the worst languages to learn first. it's a nightmare of a language when you don't already know how to program. you should master a sane language first.

In what way(s) is JavaScript a "nightmare"? Not saying you're wrong, I just genuinely don't know what you mean, but you seem much more well-versed than me in programming.

I would think in some ways it's easier, like how you don't have to define the variable types. I think beginners would prefer that, though maybe it would get you into bad habits and then make it harder to do something like C where the types have to be defined more strictly.
