It doesn’t really matter what language you learn first, as long as you understand that what you really need to learn are the underlying concepts, not the syntax or the libraries. If you do that successfully, you will be able to pick up new languages relatively quickly.

The only effective response to Republican election fraud is to fight it in detail. That takes a lot of people and a lot of money. The people side of it seems to be in good shape. I worry that there won’t be enough money for all the legal battles, but that there is hope on that too.
