Based on popularity and demand in the current job market, two of the top languages to learn first in coding today are:

1. Python because it’s versatile and easy-to-learn, as well as widely used in data science, machine learning, web development, and automation. It has a simple syntax and a large community of developers, so it’s an accessible language for beginners.
2. JavaScript, especially for front-end (and now popular for back-end) web development, is also quite versatile and scalable. It's used to build interactive websites and web applications, and it has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for developers to use.

Both Python and JavaScript are used in a variety of industries, so learning these languages can provide a solid foundation for further exploration in programming and open up a wide range of career opportunities.
