Hello,

I am thinking about teaching my students JavaScript first so that they can start creating websites and make their career, what are your thoughts?

If they're not in the CS field, and you don't want to teach them CS concepts that they don't need, then you have eliminated C as an option by your own criteria.

With C, they'll have to learn about compilers, build systems, memory management, and pointers at the very least.
