Here are some cool-sounding projects/products: http://leaflabs.com/devices/ Integrated FPGA, and it claims that it does or will make them easy to use! http://leaflabs.com/2011/09/pymite/ Python! Python is the best language for beginners of all languages that I have tried. http://www.bugblat.com/products/cor.html (This one seems more for pros and less for beginners than the leaflabs one.) Oh, I see that the Arduino company has announced an ARM product: http://arduino.cc/blog/2011/09/17/arduino-launches-new-products-in-maker-faire/ But it isn't generally available yet and isn't listed on http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Hardware yet.
