Best Beginners Programming book

It cracks me up that people recommend python as a first language, you get syntax that is just as easy with Pascal, but has static typing. And Pascal has all the speed of C, it has pointers and a simple class/object system. And it has a nice GUI IDE with Lazarus

And nobody uses it.

Pascal isn't fashionable anymore. It is the Python of the '90s. It's still good, though. I find its syntax saner and quicker to parse than the typical "popular" languages today.

at some point people are going to realize that Python does not teach good programming discipline because it is overly abstract. The static compiled nature teaches how to use arrays properly, as something that does not change in size or type during the running of the program. The freedom that dynamic languages like Python give are overly advanced for beginners who will abuse that freedom by not keeping track of types

at some point >>4 realize le python is more used in the current code monkey industry
