Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Why is Go not a serious language? Programming backend stuff is great with it. Especially networking. Reading Go is not hard and in my opinion it is more easy to understand Go code you find from other programmers than Python. Companies are build on Go and people make a living from it. However you need to look into you local job market, where I live there are very few companies looking for Go developers. It is a serious language. But I don't know much about zig, I used it once for CGO.
