100% agree with this. I like to start people with a scripting language, and only once they're comfortable instructing a computer, move on to something "harder". Then again, I also think that teaching C/C++ to someone with < 5 years experience should be punishable by spanking.

I mean, something C-like but better. After decades with the language, I dislike C's features almost as much as I love them. I'd far rather there be something like Rust available more widely.
