What is the easiest programming language for beginners?

[Walrus]

I'd assume that either HTML or Python is (mainly because Python is very instructional, and guided, so is HTML). It all depends on the person though and what they wanna do though (like make programs, games, sites, ect).

HTML is very simple and easy to learn, but it is not a programming language, unless you learn HTML5, which I have never bothered to do.

PHP and JavaScript, when combined with HTML, can be used to make some decent websites and webpage-only games.

If you want to make complete games, I've only ever dealt with Java, but not enough to make a complete game in itself. And, of course, there's Lua, but it's usually embedded inside another language.

I think Python is a pretty good language for beginners.

I think Python is a pretty good language for beginners.

That and I think Perl is rather simple.
