I would go with programming. From my perspective math is conceptual, you either have a mind for it or not, and more math wont help you be a better programmer. I also find math to be boring.. so, I may be partial.

I say you should go with both, the best programmers are those who know math(math gives you algorithmic thinking). But if the programming domain you chose covers advanced Mathematics you should pick it.

Don't know what domain are in Sweden but here in Romania we have domains in Informatics and Mathematics for High School.

This is purely based on where I'm from as I'm not to familiar with the school systems curriculum in Sweden. However, I would go with programming only because you would have such a head start on people when it comes to high school and college. Advanced math can always be attained at a later level. If you take the math you are supposed to take currently and excel, there shouldn't be any reason why they would make you stay there. So maybe both is a possibility. Anyways, I think it's great you're taking such a proactive stance in programming at such a young age. Wish they would have offered it when I was going into middle school. Good Luck.

Thx for the response! As from your tips im probably gonna choose programming then

Anyway im probably gonna be superior to the other students because im right not hardcore learning c++ and some html . Basically im gonna be working with game dev or security dev. Or maybe even working here because this site has been quite. Helpful for about 5 months. I think. So thx for the answers, i think you all will probably hear from me in the future, not to boast or anything but my goal in life is to be one of the best hacker/programmer , ofcourse no blackhat ,but still you know crossing lines of laws.
