Hi everyone,

What would you say is the correct order of learning all major programming languages for those who have just started out?

Hey, i suggest you start with python after that it depends what work you wanna do.
For example if you are working in cloud then Go, SQL.
For Front/end you need HTML, JS, CSS.

I was thinking of a mobile app development

Ah okay, for mobile development I’d probably pick one path instead of trying to learn a bunch of languages. If you want Android, Kotlin is a great choice, and for iOS, Swift. If you want to build for both with one codebase, you could look into Flutter with Dart or React Native with JavaScript/TypeScript. I’d pick one of those and get comfortable with it before adding more languages.

I wouldn’t recommend beginners try to learn every major programming language in a specific order, because programming isn’t about collecting languages like Pokémon. A better approach is to start with one beginner-friendly language such as Python to understand programming fundamentals, problem-solving, data structures, and basic algorithms. After that, JavaScript or TypeScript is a good choice for web development, followed by Java or C# if you want to learn object-oriented programming and build larger applications. SQL should also be learned because databases are essential in most software projects. Once you have a strong foundation, you can explore C or C++ to understand lower-level concepts such as memory and performance, and later learn Go or Rust if your career requires them. Ultimately, the best language order depends on your goals: focus on mastering one language first, then learn additional languages when there is a practical reason to use them rather than trying to learn everything at once.
