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!

Jepp I just have to agree with >>30
I can only say about 30% fail with loops at first when learning Java if the Teacher tries to tell you over and over that everything is an Object.
I really can't undertand why the teachers even try that. They could just teach all the controls structures first and then the OO stuff.

(And yes your right I didn't make a study about how much people failed with the loops but it's an estimted value.)
