I'm not a teacher, and I don't want to become one tbh.

That said, something like Python is standard, and for good reason IMO. For OOP they usually teach Java here, though I'm not a huge fan. I think Kotlin would be better to teach nowadays. There are other OO languages of course, but I'm of the opinion that after messing around with Python, students should probably use something strongly typed, so that's JavaScript out - I suppose TypeScript could be used, but IMO it'd be best to keep JS/TS in a web dev specific course.
