Easy first-time languages

Okay, I'm completely new to programming. Java's giving me headaches since I've never done OOP before.

I'm trying to be a true hacker on steroids, can you help me /prog/?

I tried asking this in /g/ but I'm still indecisive.

What did you find ugly about Pascal?
a. begin
b. ; as a statement separator not statement terminator.
c. ugly treatment of registers and arrays in function parameters, an the like.
d. end
