  • tinyest language compared to the other languages that have been suggested (you could learn the core language in 2 days)

  • Extremely helpful community

  • Fun: it's specifically for building user interfaces... used for building simple toy games

  • Proven to be a great first language: I can't remember where I saw this, but it's actively being taught to grade schoolers in the US with great success

  • Functional programming is slowly eating the languages world, may as well get a head start!
