...Compiler, Interpreter, or whatever, to run on just about anything.
We currently teach Pascal to our first year Applied Computer Science
undergrads. We are tossing around the idea of adding a second language
to break the Baby Duck Syndrome (imprinting on the first language).
Smalltalk has been suggested, but we don't want to get bogged down
in syntax or other details. Lisp has also been suggested (but, MIT
experience to the contrary, we think it's too intimidating).
Logo seems the simplest suggestion so far. We are of course open to
further suggestions.
Please mail me & I will summarize if requested.
