Hi, I'm a complete useless lurker who do not know anything about programming, and I want to program an XMPP client :D. I have absolutely 0 competence, but I'd like to know if there is a language preferable to make such things, and if there is a place where I can start to learn. I tried with some basic tutorials and general lessons about programming, but without a clear goal I got bored and stopped after a little while. Thanks in advance for every advice/insult!

If you're into golang, mellium.im looks like a decent library (i played around with it but nothing serious). It's evolving rather quickly although it's still lacking behind in features, but the maintainer is friendly and very welcome to devs using the library to find out the pain points and missing features.

Thanks! I will surely check on that!
