Best Language for Kids? Smalltalk! (Score 1)

Right now, there are more jobs available for VB programmers. And, probably, more jobs for COBOL coders, too. But I believe that the future looks brighter for OO, and the best language for that is Smalltalk. Granted, it's not the easiest language to learn, especially for those who have been coding in procedural languages - which means it's almost imperative to start young people in Smalltalk. Catch them before their minds have become ossified!
