Frankly I think that JavaScript as first taught language is a horrible choice, just as it would be Java. C is still the best option IMHO, but in the end any traditional language that gets compiled into native code is ok. Abstraction is good, but only after you've completely understood what's under the hood. If a language has got a "WOW" factor, it's a very bad choice as the first taught language.
