Hello friends, the title is mostly self explanatory. I would like to start programming but I also feel like I am not very smart, so I would like a programming language that is easier to grasp than others. That considered I don't hope to be able to learn something "powerful" but it would be nice to still be able to do some useful things. Something I would love to do is make games, I know those are usually made in C, which is a very difficult one, but maybe some simpler games can be made with other languages.

I suggest learning Ruby, it's a lot nicer and easier to learn than many others in my opinion. You can learn Crystal at the same time, it's got very similar syntax but it's a compiled language so super fast.

Thanks, ruby was another language I saw in the thread popping a few times, the first one being python. I I was told a few things python can be good for, can you give me a few examples of good uses for ruby just to have a vague idea?
