First computer language

[Anthony Gardner]

Is Pascal still used?

Perl is as clean as you wish to make it. To begin
programming it's perfect as you don't have to worry
about memeory mgt and if you want to program the way
you speak, then it's perfect.

my $var = 1;

print "Hello World\n" if( $var ); ## the way we speak

if( $var ) {  ## std style
  print "Hello World\n";
}

Java and C# for a beginner? Me thinks not.
