Easy! Python :) Its logical, simple and fun yet powerful and flexible;
teaches good habits, encourages clean and readable code, and is an
excellent way to understand and implement object orientation.  I also
happen to love its unit test framework.  My experience in introducing
new programmers to Python has been that they start producing working
and pleasing code very quickly, which is also great for their
confidence.
