REPLs are certainly useful - I primarily program in Ruby and occasionally try out snippets of code in irb. Erlang is on my list to learn, but it's behind a few others :) http://lojic.com/blog/2008/01/17/2008-programming-language-plan/ As far as a first language, I think it's hard to beat Logo, but there are quite a few that would be good. I personally prefer a text based language over one that heavily uses an IDE such as Squeak/Smalltalk. http://lojic.com/blog/2008/01/05/learning-logo-part-one/ Hey Mark, I found a link to this page from your comment on bluej.org, then I discovered that you’re in the Raleigh area working for Lulu, so I thought I’d say hi.
