What is the easiest, most basic programming language to learn?

I want to start getting into computer programming, but I don’t know where to start. What is the easiest language for someone who has never programmed before to learn? Currently I’m starting with Python, but are there any better options?

    I don’t support Python or php, they are easy but they have their own _ more special _ purposes.

    C and C++, are easy to make you fall in some mistakes,yeah who hasn’t programmed in C hasn’t programmed yet, I suggest Java, then C and C++, or after you make some good progress in Java you can work in parallel between C and Java.

    Personally, I started with C and Java (though frankly, I found C to be easier).

    Personally I would suggest PHP. It has a great installed base on the Internet, so there is a lot of demand for good programmers. It is not difficult to learn, and requires no specific software to work with it. You can code in Notepad, or use free Open source editors.

    Dnt say that
    what is easier programming language to do.
    Let me guide you properly.
    First begin with C
    Then C++
    After that go for Java or .net.
    I will Prefer java over .net
    But choice is urs.

    I’d still say BASIC which was invented at Dartmouth College in the 60s and popularized by Microsoft Basic interpreter. Visual Basic is very changed from that but there are still versions out there like Chipmunk Basic which will run the old programs. I also like RealBASIC
