I like c as you can find its basics in so many other languages. I also
like php because it transitions well and offers a link to oop but its

I'd say the best language to learn first is the one that makes the project
useful. What is the project you want to attack?
I enjoyed learning C/C++ first, but OOP evangelists would disagree. :)

Every language has strengths and weaknesses. Some one wanted the
strengths and so designed the language for that reason. Python is
appropriate for many things and not appropriate for many others. So
is any other language.
