Python would be my first choice for a first language.  It's 
designed to be easy to learn, yet it's still a "real" language 
suitable for large projects.  It's not a toy like most other 
"first" languages.

I've often heard it's based on the pseudocode programmers use to 
communicate with each other, and this is what got me interested 
in the first place.  It's almost identical to the pseudocode I 
used before I discovered Python.


Anyway, if you'd like to see how various languages attack the 
same ideas, take a look around here:
