Sorry for the late reply, but I've decided to go with C++, more or less. Thanks for the advice ^^

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'll stick to that more or less. Which IDE would you recommend for python + java?

At the moment, I've been told that a very high-level language such as Python is a good place to start. Though I'm also having a poke at Java. Thoughts?

I'm a 23 year old washed out humanities graduate, now a NEET with few skills that can translate into getting a job. I'm a nobody, essentially. I'm trying to learn programming. In my spare time (most of my time) I like reading, hiking, games, and anime. And drinking.
