If you want to make a website, HTML or Python. HTML sets up a basic website but Python has many librarys to assist you in web development.
C might be a good language but not your first language. Java or C++ should never be your first language.
This also depends on what you want to make with programming.
C++ isn't that hard. You just need the right motivation.
If I could do it when I was twelve with no programming knowledge, then so can you.
The main issue with modern C++ is the bloat. The language just grows and grows and grows to the point that even C++ developers have had enough with the extremely similar yet dissimilar types for various different situations.
This a problem every language has to some extent, where they just don't when to stop adding new features. Perhaps, only Go carefully scrutinises features for many years before even considering adding them.
And the reason for that is that Go was originally supposed to be an anti-C++.
