I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don’t feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

    Go seems like a good option to begin with; you can do a lot with it, and it’s not that complicated but does expose you to concepts like pointers.

    There are plenty of very “serious” systems written in Go (e.g. Kubernetes), it’s not a toy language.
