Showerthought: Starting with C beats Python for beginners every time
Python hides the hard parts from you. With C, you see how memory works and what code does. This knowledge helps with every other language. Trust me, it's worth the extra effort.

Lol, C might teach you how memory works, but it's a brutal first language. Most beginners quit before they even get to the good parts. Python's easier start keeps people coding long enough to learn the hard stuff later.

My first C program crashed so hard I thought I broke my computer. Now I use Python where my bugs don't threaten to wipe out my hard drive, lmao.

Totally get where @harper_singh18 is coming from. But man, if you start with Python you might never learn the basics that C forces on you. That early struggle builds a way better foundation.
