     @RL_Dane Basic, Pascal and Python are the three I've always recommended...

     @dheadshot

     I still have fond memories of Pascal. I need to pick it up again sometime, or try Nim, which @sotolf speaks so highly of.

     I mean, if Sotolf DOESN'T say that something is total garbage, it must be REALLY good! ?

     @RL_Dane @dheadshot nim is like a modern pascal, the first compiler was written in pascal as well :)
