Hello friends, the title is mostly self explanatory. I would like to start programming but I also feel like I am not very smart, so I would like a programming language that is easier to grasp than others. That considered I don't hope to be able to learn something "powerful" but it would be nice to still be able to do some useful things. Something I would love to do is make games, I know those are usually made in C, which is a very difficult one, but maybe some simpler games can be made with other languages.

If you're coming into programming from zero, try Hedy.

It's a gradual progression textual programming language specifically designed for teaching and learning. At the last level of progression, it's just Python. The link above lets you get started right away in the browser with no setup, in your native language (English or otherwise).

If you're not coming from zero, you might want to jump a little deeper into C#, considering your goal of making games and the ecosystem of Godot and Unity. C# has a higher "low bar" of strictness and structure, which can stumble "from zero" learners.
