Most people make the mistake of saying "I want to learn how to program!" and pick up a random programming language, and most of them end frustrated because they get stuck or don't understand something. I believe that the best way to choose a programming language is first, choosing a project that you want to do, then, search on the internet or ask for opinions about which language could be the best to create that project. That way, you can make sure that you're investing your time in learning something that will really help you in accomplishing your goal.
