Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

    Neither. Teach them Scheme. They need to start by building good habits (functional programming).

      Yeah who teaches JS for compsci?? Scheme and Python are MIT-standards for a reason.
