Newfag

I'm a newfag programmer, so I don't have any experience, whatsoever. In other words, I'm a newfag still in the womb. What would be a good programming language to start on? I'm a mathematician, so I don't necessarily need huge 'user friendly' things.

But after one has had their fill of Haskell (if ever), they can just regard C, Java et al as Haskell's retarded little brothers that need lots more handholding.
