Hey! I've recently been interested in learning how to program, hence the question in the title. I learned a lot of lua when I was younger and toying around with Roblox, however i think its time to move onto the big boy languages. I just don't know where to start! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends..

Many say Python, I'd vote for JS (and node then)
 
Python. I switched from php to python 3 years ago, and I don't want to come back.
 
Python by far and there’s so much free information on it too due to its simplicity.
 
They teach Python first at most modern schools.

Languages are all similar. What matters and makes you better than the average "programmer" on Upwork is your ability to think so for example, design efficient algorithms with proper efficiency. Learning O(n log n) vs O (n^2) kind of stuff. Especially in SEO, there's usually a ton of scraping where efficiency is key unless you have tons of money or modest goals in scalability.
 
I'll vote PHP for 2 reasons:

It is easy to learn
Almost all cheap Linux Shared Hosting Companies support it.
 
"Easiest" - subjective
"Best" - subjective

Use the best tool for the job. Ask any experienced programmer, (s)he will probably agree.

That being said, languages like python, php, javascript are probably the easiest to get started with; because of the syntax and the tooling used.
 
i'd say python, easy to learn, can work in almost anywhere
 
I've been working in java, and maybe cause I've had experience with a few languages now, its much easier than it was a couple of years ago.
 
For me Python is the easiest to learn
 
I learned python straight from high school and that was along time ago.. I got addicted to it and in those days it was not for making money.

I would back this. Even though JS might pretty daunting at first specially compared to python. I myself started programming by learning python for that exact reason. I felt JS, node, react and react-native seemed so extremely hard to learn that I actually avoided it with a passion. But after picking up JS I regret not choosing it for my starting language. But then again it all comes down to what and why you want to learn to program. Python absolutely has its strong points especially for certain developers. However that being said I feel that with JS you'll get a more comprehensiveness for programming in general. As pythons syntax and code is a more "unique" language and wont translate as well in others.

Ego.
