True

Considering the fact that Python is OO, is easy to learn, doesn't teach you terrible programming babits, is actually readable, and things written in it are easy to reimplement in Java and C makes it a pretty worthy candidate, I think.

Anyway, the OP seems to have forgotten that this thread exists, so I guess there's no reason for this discussion!

Those are the worst languages to start with in the world, don't touch them. I started with them and I regret it.

They don't support jack fucking squat (especially FreeBASIC and QBASIC) in the modern world and just plain suck. They also teach REALLY BAD FUCKING HABITS for a new programmer that make it almost impossible to wrap your mind around real langauges and anything that works remotely close to the machine level.

I see your point, I used to program in QBasic then started with C and gave up because I realized there were better things in life.

PHP is the same.

TheQuirk:
Different strokes for different folks. I personally find Python a lot more readable (and a lot more useful, since you can do a lot more with Python when it comes to standalone apps; then again, if the guy wants to make online toys, either one will do).

I've only used PHP 3 and PHP 4, and they definitely weren't very OO. I've heard that PHP 5 id different, though.
