Some will tell you to focus a particular language for some reasons which is not wrong depending on what you want to do eventually. Other will tell you to start with Python because its the simplest and most of the abstract things are built-in.
The language is irrelevant, as long as they fall under the same paradigms. You learn the concepts of a particular paradigm, picking up a new language of the same takes no time at all. That is most likely another reason why Python is so popular as a introductory language; it can be used under pretty much any paradigm, so shifting to more powerful languages later on will be much easier and quicker.
You're still wrong, Fawar. Like irimi stated before, the language is just the tool. You can't build everything with the same tool. Don't continue arguing in this thread, but if you do want to continue, do so by PM.
