Best Programming Language to start with?

Hello peeps. As someone who hasn't been lucky enough to be immersed into the world of programming when he was young, and has a hard time getting into it with net ressources, I need an easy and fast-learning language to start off with.

Any recommendations? Cheers!

i vote Pascal or Java. Probably Java, pascal is old. Pretty much how i learned. Pascal is a good way to get the "Programmer" way of thinking, and java adds Classes and a C++ like syntax. Then you can move up to C++ :)
