Is java the easiest way to learn programming? Should I start with this one? Thoughts

You can start with the hard way, C++ and C. But you'll get extra knowlege, and get yourself better, but you'll shoot yourself in the foot and will lost your mind shortly, I guess lol.

Also you could start with easy/high level language such as Python, Java or watever.

But my advice, start with java, not exactly java, Kotlin, research about it. You'll be happy

Python is probably the easiest way to start learning by practice. Learn C/C++ if you are going to learn computer science in general. Java is fine to start with if you aren't sure what to do next.

First, I want to say that the learning paths are infinite and there is no one path, everyone have their unique path of getting into coding and I can't say one is better then the other.

It depends on what are trying to achieve.
Easiest way to get a job in the field as a junior is through website development. For that, you need to learn JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. When you start getting comfortable creating simple web pages, learn React for frontend and  Node JS for the backend. Then start developing web application and upload them to github, the more you do, the more experience you will get and more likely to get a Job.

Once you land your first job, you will have a period of being a "junior" from month to years depending on your passion, ability to learn by yourself, and the effort you will be wiling to put. Then, you will be in a good position to think what you want to do in the programming world. If you want to get deeper to the low level mechanism of programming and real time application so you learn C, heavy, robust and enterprise application usually developed with Java and C#, python or Go for more modern languishes, and as a write my head is flowed with more technologies and frameworks.

Bare in mind, that once you are comfortable to write in two or more programming languishes, they are all pretty much the same and it will be much easier to switch from one to another.

Finally, I ma not recommending starting with C or java as it much harder and companies rarely employee junior C developers.
