Was asked what language someone should learn first if learning how to program.

I have three answers: 

1) It's like asking what language you should learn if you're visiting Europe. It all depends on where you're going.
2) Church and Turing say that, if you can do a thing in one language, you can do a thing in any language. It kinda doesn't matter.
3) Right now, the only place where you can't use Javascript is in operating systems work. It's a comer in back-end web work. It's a first-class player for Win10 applications work. Johnny Five means you can use it to write Arduino code. And you don't need to install anything: you can use your browser and Notepad. So, might as well learn Javascript.
