What is a good first language?

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-06 16:45

My 20 year old brother wants to get into programming.  I want to set him up with a language that has these features:

1. Easy to learn, must have simple syntax
2. Immediate results, easy to make graphical and text outputs.
3. Fully featured language(I want him to be able to easily progress into more advanced stuff and not be limited by the language)
4. Fast(So he gets the idea of how powerful computers are)

free markets do work. governments propping up businesses that should have failed long ago and calling it a "free" market doesn't.

Oh, look, an American! You can tell by the lack of capitalisation, and the irrational belief in the benefits of taking a naive market model far beyond the conditions where it has been shown to apply.

Look, on the Internet you're either a fat, smelly dumbfuck AmeriKKKan, or a cool, stylish and modern Frenchman. There is no in-between.

I am Canadian and I agree with this post

Also, >>84, surely a quintessential example of naïveté is the belief that a few planners can make more efficient large-scale decisions than millions of individuals pursuing their separate interests
