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.

Ruby has carved space for itself in web application development, but has limited popularity in in other domains. In comparison with Python, Ruby has fewer "old warts" and feels more internally consistent. In a similar manner, both the community and newcomer experience are more cohesive and are considered more friendly, compared to Python.
