BASIC - a great language for kids to learn with!
LOL You must not be a programmer to make a statement like that! It would be blasphemy if you were a C guy.
C the most obtuse programming language there is.
BASIC is better for most to start off with. Just declaring variables will lose most on the others.
Its why I think most programmers like C It lets them keep there Black Magic mystic with non-programmers.
