Appears my partner wants to get into #programming. I'm not too much of a programmer myself (been quite a while since I have) so what's a good language that can be used for everyday application but beginner friendly ?
@niraeth C# or Java. I personally prefer C#.
@ninafelwitch I've always perceived C# and Java to be way too much for someone just starting out. Maybe I'm just cynical towards it given how C# is tied with Microsoft and Java being a nightmare with Minecraft. 

@niraeth Nah, the syntax is very easy to understand, in my opinion. (source: I teach C# and Java (and also Python and PHP) )

I prefer them over most other languages because don't have many confusing special characters in their syntax and the language is close to normal english and that makes it easy to read.

@ninafelwitch That makes sense. A big thing in looking into potential languages for my partner is mainly for it not to be as overwhelming at first and have it lead into understanding concepts better and have that ability to migrate to another language relatively easily, if wanted to.

I've dabbled with C++ and my Python is ancient in comparison so all I really known is "maybe look into doing python" when I was asked about one.
