I don't want you to use anything you don't want, but this looks like a
good place to insert a basic observation on that:  When I taught the
freshman-level Foundations of Computer Science course here I spent *one*
lecture on Scheme syntax, and started in on recursion and induction in the
second lecture.

Clearly there's a lot more to being proficient at a language than learning
its syntax, but just as clearly there aren't very many languages that I
could have done that with.

Anyway, hope you find something you like.  I hope to look into Lua myself
someday... when time allows.
