Easiest Programming Language to Learn

[Cosmic]

This thread is an alternative to the What's the most easiest coding language to learn thread. My question is this: what is the easiest programming language to learn. By that, I mean a language that lets you define variables, functions, etc. So, basically, you cannot say HTML, CSS, or anything like that. 😛

Things that are programming languages: PHP, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, Python, Ruby, Perl, FORTRAN, Lua, etc
Things that are not programming languages: HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, etc.

So, what do you think the easiest programming language to learn? 😀

PHP sounds like the easiest, even though I have not really dove into the world that is PHP, my friend has and says it's easier than the others he knows. 😛

Though I do know some LUA, so it's more of a toss up between those two.

I'm a java fanboy myself, so I think Java is probably the easiest programming language to learn! 😀 One of the great things about Java is that the compiler will catch most of the errors for you, and the syntax is very, very consistent. Almost everything in Java is a class or an object. Instead of learning about functions first and objects later, you can just skip all the outdated procedural stuff and jump straight into modern day OOP 😀

And also, there aren't o many things that can bite you like C++. 😛

C and C++ are the easiest to learn compared to others that are provided on the list. They are the basics of programming language and it is used for programming most of the softwares and even operating systems.

I have to disagree there. Many aspects of the language are very complicated, such as pointers, references, streams, etc. Many of the details and libraries also differ between compilers, which can cause issues.

I found them much easier compared to other languages - maybe I was quick learner 😛

Probably JavaScript. Quite easy to learn and easy to get started (JS is client-side, so you can write it in the browser - there's also Node.js for server-side JS stuff) Granted, there are annoying things like how variables created without keyword 'var' are global, etc., but still a nice language IMO.

PHP is the easiest programming language to learn. It's use develop web 🙂
