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. -- Bobby Bryant Austin, Texas
