I've always thought that one of the more simple
assembly languages would
be a great 'first language' for someone wanting to learn how to program.
Who's with me?
I think S/360-S/370 assembler would work quite well. It starts
out
exceedingly simple, then moves to variable length opcodes, variable word
length, four-level indirection, etc. Doesn't require it to do useful
stuff though. But I am a bit biased towards mainframes.
