If you care about your programmers teach them Delphi it is easy to learn OO
using visual pascal and it will help you ease them into C++ as the next
general OO language after which they can choose some elective like Perl or
Python (only prob is that
Delphi doesn't run under Linux yet) but Kylix (visual pascal for Linux) is in
the pipeline soon and then watchout programming peeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
