In my country C++ is taught as a base language along with Scratch(not a language, but yk what I mean). I recently started learning Kotlin with Jetpack Compose (the only sane way to learn Kotlin) and I realized I wasted two years of my life learning C++, with 5 more to come as it is mandatory in ICT classes.... :((

Which programming language would you like to teach if you were a teacher? P.D I also learned C++ as my first language

Idk about other people but just learning c is so logical. You do stupid shit, you get stupid results. Of course there are a lot of bad things with c but at least when you sit down to understand how it works, it works while most oop languages are so detached from the hardware its hard to understand anything. It might be just me but oop breaks my brain. Also ive never coded in c++ but i automatically avoided it. I heard rust has very minimal oop and its just to make things smoother so i may try that.

I'm not a teacher, and I don't want to become one tbh.

That said, something like Python is standard, and for good reason IMO. For OOP they usually teach Java here, though I'm not a huge fan. I think Kotlin would be better to teach nowadays. There are other OO languages of course, but I'm of the opinion that after messing around with Python, students should probably use something strongly typed, so that's JavaScript out - I suppose TypeScript could be used, but IMO it'd be best to keep JS/TS in a web dev specific course.

C++ was my second programming language after BASIC, if that still qualifies as a programming language these days.

In hungary its python and c++ in the curriculum but on the tests you can usually choose between a few languages.
