I have heard that visual basic is not that good, and I want to start on something easy and efficient and free.

Lua, then web development languages (i.e. PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS). After, learn Python. I suggest you don't try anything like C++ until you can fully master all of those _and_ learn x86 Assembly :O

You're usually right, BUT, Bash is better.

C# or Java. C++ is nice to know but by the time you're at the age where you'll be getting paid full-time for it C++ would've died.

Sorry, but you're completely wrong.

Most games out there use C++.

Start with RBX.lua: Easy to learn with all the objects and stuff.

Then you can branch off to a ton of development languages. I would suggest either Java or C++.

I suggest not bothering with rbx.lua, learn something usefull like c or any of its derivatives (java, c++, c#, objective-c). Then, go for x86 NASM.

Most people prefer C++ because of it's power, and that, since most applications use it.

Ya, I would do C++. A bunch of programming languages are related to C++, so if you can do that (as well as the other C's) then it will be easier to integrate.

Not true. I know a professional programmer, and that is what he recommends.

i would recommend starting with

Batch/Bash
learn how a computer works yey
then
RBX.Lua or Python
they are in my opinion the two most similar languages i've seen imo, lol

by now you have a good grip on programming
do whatver you like

"Not true. I know a professional programmer, and that is what he recommends."

He is a professional programmer - thus he has obviously learned the language over a course of years, so it would definitely be easy for him. He probably no longer understands that others cannot understand programming...

It doesn't really matter. You could start with C++, but that'd be a relatively long commitment if you want to succeed. Why not start with Roblox though? I didn't personally learn programming here, but a lot of people did. (If you already can use Rbx.Lua effectively, go for some OOP language like C++ or Java)

"C# or Java. C++ is nice to know but by the time you're at the age where you'll be getting paid full-time for it C++ would've died."

You expect C++ to die in the next decade? Despite the fact that so many libraries are compatible with it? And how it's one of most popular programming languages? And that it can easily be put on basically any platform and can even be used in embedded systems? Certainly, if C++ dies it will die to a new programming paradigm, not a closely related language.

People said stuff like this about binary, then assembly, then C (Although some people persist on using C for some reason)

Honestly, I can draw a MILLION rectangles with C# and get only about a 5 FPS drop. It's more than fast enough to use mainstream.
