First think why you want to learn a language ( for a career, hobby, games, websites, bored?) .

Then ask which language fits the best for this particular task. Then that way
we can tell you what you need to know and we wont have to read your mind. WIN WIN situation.
Our whole life is a opengl application.

For hobby, and later maby games if i get it under control
I had first learned to use Dos back in the day.
Years later i had learned C++ and thought it was great.
Then i learned C and thought it was even better.
Last i learned assembly and realized why C/C++ suck...
Dont get me wrong, C/C++ are great languages,
and im sure you can code anything in any language,
but assembly is truly the easiest one of them all.
I would say to look at the syntax for a few languages
and decide which one looks like the easiest to understand.
Once you know a few of them you will soon realize
which language will best suit the task at hand.
wow someone who loves assembly. yeah if you guy's start out with some assembly you will understand why the code run like it does and it clarify a lot of things

Easy in terms of understanding what each instruction does, yes. But very limited in expressiveness.

Printing every item in a collection of things takes one or two lines in C++ but god-knows-how-many lines in any assembly language.
yeah it will fell like you have done a load of work when you have really done as much as you could.that's why they create new languages, it simplifies coding to a point where things become easier
