@louis this may be a language issue but to me if it doesn't have a control flow it isn't "programming", it's web design or something else. Personally these days I might suggest #Python or #Ruby as a first language unless there's a platform-specific demand (e.g. #Kotlin for #Android). #Javascript makes it easy to get into bad habits so personally I'd make that a second language. Definitely don't stop at one! #PolyglotProgramming

The closing paragraph of this post by Ola Bini from 2008 is the best sales pitch for Clojure (the post is not about Clojure)

> I also believe quite strongly that if we used better languages for our code, many code bases would be smaller, easier to understand, easier to maintain and cost less – which means you could afford to find a more skilled programmer to do the work for you. This would mean that both parties win – the programmer gets more interesting work and better code, while the client gets more worth for his money in less time.
