Interesting question!

Lol, yeah Q Basic was the first I learned from copying code listings in books from the library in the early 90s to make simple games, and Come Uni time the first language we learned was Pascal.

I like the look of Python having written a few programs in it for my Raspberry Pi; I think that is a good option for beginners as its quite readable and teaches a tidy coding style with the indentation necessary for the programs to operate correctly.
