I think I’d say that it’s the new (Turbo) Pascal, but I agree with Dave. Fast (enough), available, and easy (enough) to learn. There’s no excuse not to get out and start programming if you’ve got any thought at all of doing so.
mmm, I used to love me some TurboPascal. Perhaps I need to look at Python.
well, they’re pretty different languages, but Python’s pretty friendly to a newcomer. Jump right in. Here are some resources to get started: http://del.icio.us/SjVore/python
