Pascal is definitely an easier language to learn than C. It's sort of a dying
language though.
I went BASIC -> Pascal -> C -> Perl -> PHP, with many languages inflicted on me
by professors (VAX asm, Modula-3, Prolog, C++) and some little adventures of my
own (TCL/TK, Ruby, Python).
If I was starting over from scratch, I think I'd go with Python. It is still
gaining popularity and is powerful enough to do a lot of useful things on a lot
of different platforms.
I think Ruby should be used to teach object oriented programming. It is SO
object-oriented that it's almost awkward to write procedural code in it
(exactly the opposite of most languages that had objects grafted on after the
fact).
