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.

I think that by learning Haskell well right off the bat, a programmer can learn to visualise their program in terms of the high-level tasks it will be accomplishing. The natural modularity of functional programming will help them learn elegant design. Any idiot can learn to sling for loops around and manipulate pointers... so why not save that stuff for such a time as you have some idea where you want to go?
