There are a lot of programming languages, but I think Python is one of the simplest and powerful programming languages for the quick start. In Python you can write desktop, web or (what is really popular nowadays) run Machine Learning applications. What do you think, guys? Is it the good language?
I agree Python has a great future, I tried learning a little bit of it a couple of years ago but I didnt persist. I have done a little bit of Java, PHP and Javascript too. I think JS or Python would be the most useful these days.
