Friend is learning JavaScript as her first language. Should I stop her?

Unless she is specifically trying to learn Front-End Web Development with Front-End Frameworks, I'd recommend trying to get her to switch.

Python in general is a much easier more intuitive first language, and if we wants to do WebDev, the Flask framework makes it very easy. Once she is comfortable with Flask, HTML, and CSS, going into JavaScript, Front-End or Server End will be generally much easier.

No, let her be comfortable in C-syntax instead of using Python.

No, it's basically lingua franca at this point. Also the ability to easily make things happen in a browser might hold her interest longer than piping "Hello world" to the console.

But with all that said, I def think learning something like C is also a great way to learn as well.

No, don't stop her. As >>5254 described it's better to program something than get discouraged by language technicalities and stop programming all together. C languages getting recommended by seasoned programmers to newcomers is cruel. It's like when I started going to the gym and was using the assisted machines then my friend made me squat 150 lbs and ruined my back for a month. If she uses JavaScript for long enough maybe she'll naturally become interested in lower level language concepts and want to pursue C.

i'd like to know why would u stop her?

JavaScript also popular programming language and if your friend like to study it do not stop her. My friend and I created some own apps - stores where we want to sell some goods and integrate apple pay to own apps so here https://spdload.com/blog/how-to-integrate-apple-pay-in-app/ I found article about it

You should not waste a second and make that happen right away. Do the good thing. We need more do gooders in the world. lol Ideally it can come off and for good. I'm talking about any instance of her working on Javascript. It might not make sense to her now but she'll thank you down the line. Basically everyone does that who considers working in Javascript. lol

Not necessarily stopping, but you should emphasize the limitations of the language outside of web development and the insanity (security or sane practices? We don't need those here) of its library ecosystem

Also Python simply has both more useful libraries for everything and they tend to be better-written.

python has better libraries and more secure environment i think, but its also less powerfull language, there is no popular language other than javascript that makes using high-order functions easier. Start with https://eloquentjavascript.net, most important chapter is about asynchrous programming. She should learn about async and events as soon as possible otherwise she will have bad time. Also she should learn high-order-functions and then she can learn react and start earning lot of money

IMHO, women tend to gravitate towards less rigorous areas like front-end web development because their brains are not as analytical as those of men, so something like C programming probably isn't a good fit for them. I would say let her learn Javascript. It can't hurt.

Nothing wrong with Javascript, my first language was some fucking Game Maker shit

In regards to web development, doing CRUD is not real programming. CRUD is create read update delete.

If you're programming a jobs board, you can create jobs, read them, update a user's CV and personal information, and delete job applications. To code something like that, it's not real programming because it's CRUD.

Get her to make a battleships game using the command line on C, and making a tic tac toe game in C++ using the relevant algorithm where each square is numbered 1-9 and a winning line adds up to 15. If she can do that then she has programming talent.

Programming requires a certain level of problem solving and intuitive thinking, so when programming jobs are hiring, the recruiter aims to negatively filter out the people whose past experience and portfolio consists solely of CRUD projects. Not everyone has that talent.

It's really great that you can now use a variety of computer applications thanks to the Internet. I really like that now you can easily download a variety of apps and their versions with modifications. I'm happy to do it now, too.
