I’m a pleb and don’t k ow code. The first thing I had to learn and are still learning is bash. I use it for messing around in the lightning node. Couldnt do it without that. After all my research to build on that I am going to give python a crack. A bit of Linux and Ubuntu

Depends on what you want to do.

Write simple scripts with low barrier to entry? Python

Make websites? I'd say learn typescript, javascript, node

Work on Bitcoin core? Start with learning C and add C++ and Python

Work on LND, learn Golang

I've worked with over 2 dozen programming languages and things shift over time. My current favorite to recommended for beginner programmers is Python. It allows for simple scripts, to more structured and OOP style, and has easy to use libraries and frameworks to use for very basic AI/ML, graphic manipulation, 2d games, websites and seevices

Yes. I’d say that if you’re really going to be programming long term, you’ll need to branch out eventually. So just pick one that you feel motivated to get into, and you’ll learn so much and pick up other things.
