every 9-12 months, this argument about the best first language comes up. half of the people arguing with opinions they won't gudge from and half trying to throw in half-knowledgable remarks to show they too exist, and never does anyone agree. so allow me to add to the tradition! Python, gentlemen! it can be OO or Procedural (and even pure functional I was once told). the syntax is clean, very little syntactic sugar, no odd compilersyntax for a newbie to learn, richer than Java, clearer than C and C++, and more widely used in the practical world than Pascal or LISP.
