either python or JavaScript. I wanna start with either those two because theyre easier, and I'll learn new, harder things once I get a better understanding of how languages work. I already know a little bit in each and I have a program for learning the both of them. which should I learn?

Depends on what do you want to do with them. JavaScript is mostly used in websites while Python is more of a generalized language.

I unanimously would suggest Python of the two.

Also, there is not much in learning harder languages once you've learned a first one. You will learn the hard stuff in Python, and that hard stuff is usually different for each language. You usually will have the imperative-language core and then will depend on libraries.

Python. It's far more useful and it's open source so more people contribute to it.

Lua and Python are very similar. I would suggest learning both of these.

Javascript isn't a programming language, it's a scripting language for websites and stuff. Java is a programming language, so don't get the two confused (just in case)! :P
But I would say Python, it's very popular and easy to learn apparently.
