Comment on Ask HN: Which programming language for a first-time coder in 2022?

Comments

Lua on the Pico-8 Fantasy Console. It's easy to work with, has a built in editor, and it's very easy to make games in. I think it's a fantastic environment to learn programming with. What kid doesn't want to make a game? :)

Lazy Devs on youtube is currently producing a "Making a Shmup" tutorial that is very "from the basics" as well.

Shout out to the TIC-80 as a FOSS alternative to PICO-8
