John,
Pascal used to be popular for teaching data structures but it
is not ideal for beginners. I think these language debates are
pointless.
You should just learn as many languages as possible. I've gone to the
trouble of obtaining virtually every PC compiler available (even RPG!)
so I can dabble in them all. COBOL is my favorite because its a
procedural
language and less cryptic than any other language. You can write COBOL
in
complete sentences! Nobody should hestitate to pick up a little COBOL.
