@futurebird @pikesley To be fair I was kidding old guy curmudgeon style. I would teach high school kids Golang before I teach them C. It is probably too much as an intro to programming.
That said, starting off with scripting can lead to some pretty bad habit. Just look at the average web page.
A good middle ground would be Python.
@futurebird Oh no! Go is what happens when a bunch of good language designers decide Java and C# (and F# and C++) have fatal issues and decide to start from scratch. The idea is to make the compiler so fast it seems like scripting but compile to machine code (instead of a virtual machine - like Java or C#)
@futurebird Skip this and go straight to teaching them Golang.
