I have been thinking of learning some programming recently, but I don’t feel confident enough. Is there any point in beginning with something like Zig or Go, and switching to something more serious later?

Personally I’m in a similar situation with Nim-lang. I like the style and performance, it hits a spot for me that other languages do not*. I wouldn’t call it “easy” though, as you still have to think about typing and other structure stuff (but not to the degree that you’d have to deal with for other languages). Being less popular of a language is probably the main issue here (there are many options for bindings, but you may find yourself waiting on something specific with smaller communities).
TBH I haven’t used it as much as I should, having other issues. The last thing I did though (sweeper clone), I finished it and it made me feel better about my possibility of understanding complexities.
* I guess newer changes to Python and LUA might make a difference, though I still get the feeling those are not just-enable-to-be-reasonably-fast options.
