Honestly, I taught myself JS in like 2009 as my first programming language. My high school taught Java, but I didn't get OOP. I understand functional programming though, so after JS I taught myself Elixir, then OCaml and Haskell. I really wish I was just taught Clojure or another lisp-like in school though. Python is... okay... I need expressions in my language, though, and Python is not that.
Yes, the correct sequence of events - one thing at a time, basic programming, then OOP. :-)
It's not a lot of things, which makes it poor for a teaching language.
