your theory pretty much nailed it.
i'm not sure as to why it happens though. i've experienced similar stuff (not falling over or anything though) when stretching while sitting at my desk working / doing whatever.

using a language just because it's "faster" than others is really dumb. you may hate every aspect about C but you're using it under the delusion that it does this or that faster.
honestly though, just use the language that you like using unless it doesn't fit for what you're trying to do.
ex: you like using Python so use Python for everything you can, but you can't make an OS in Python.
so use something else instead.
edit: if i had to recommend a first language, i'd say Python, Ruby, or Lua. Python specifically is fairly readable because it enforces readability to an extent and it's somewhat powerful for what it is.
if you're like me and you want to write things in C/C++ 'just because you can' / some misplaced obsession with portability and low level stuff then use that instead.

What is Programming?
Programming is when you faceroll your keyboard and after hours upon hours of sheer rage coupled with some broken keyboards, you get something like a game, application, spreadsheet, or whatever you felt like making at that point in time. This usually involves typing out simple text (code) into an IDE, text editor, or whatever your preferred form of "takakaing" is and then compiling said code.
FAQ
Q: How did you learn so much about programming to the point where you waste time correcting people on the internet and being an starfish about it? How can I begin to the wonderful wonderbread adventures of programming?
A: Pick a language, find a long series of tutorials, and begin learning. Make sure you're actually understanding what you're learning and not just copy-pasting what's being given to you. Take the examples from each lesson and try to apply it to different of stuff. I learned through the guidance of an extremely angry Australian man over the internet. That being said, those are hard to find. Just use tutorials.
Q: Which programming language is the best?
A: There isn't one! There are some that are more suited for certain jobs than others. Use the right tool for the right job. For example, you wouldn't try to make (i don't even think you can anyway) an operating system in Java. I personally prefer C or C++ because I know those languages.
Q: What's the difference between a Text Editor and an IDE / What is an IDE?
A: A text editor is something as basic as notepad. You can open up text files and edit their contents. An IDE is an integrated development environment and it comes with tons more features for whatever language(s) it supports. An IDE (usually) comes with things such as a Text Editor, a Compiler, a Debugger, as well as various project organizing features such as Debug/Release builds and library linking.
Q: Nobody in the topic could help me with <x>, what should I do?
A: Ask here.
Q: <Anything that has to do with spoonfeeding you TorqueScript at all>
A: Shoo.
Q: I loving hate you Kaphonaits and I'm going to murder your firstborn.
A: Ok. :(
