not to be mean but all of this advice is really detrimental to learning
C# is a lot more simple than c++ and c, a lot easier to learn as well - and using an IDE is recommended because you don't have to worry about using a terminal (which is a pain to learn in the first place)
python is okay but c++ and c before C# can be a very bad idea

harvard disagrees
it really doesn't make a difference what you start off with. MAYBE C or C++ could take more mental effort to get into but you're gonna have the benefit of knowing a lot more about what's really going on, and it means not starting out with all the handicaps you get from high-level languages
also python isn't "okay" it's a precious little beautiful boy

I know you might be slightly stupid...
C# is the Beginner's version of C/C++. To think it's the other way around may indicate significant inebriation on your behalf. C# lacks the complex memory management, has simplified syntax, and is straight up OOP, rather than the complex hybrid offered by C++ or lack in C.
