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?

My personal 2 bits: start with JavaScript.
You can run it in your browser console and get at least a little but of benefit from it no matter how far you go, scripting on web pages you use regularly.
Thanks to Node, you can reasonably build full stack systems with it. Fair warning, it’s really best for I/O, so it’s not really ideal for genuinely logically complex stuff.
You’ll more quickly get to bigger tangible benefits connecting things that have already been built anyway.
Python as a starter otherwise, which is suitable for that genuinely logically complex stuff.
