Lisp (lots of choices here, some are smaller than others). Python. Reasons: scripting interactive development. Perl has lots useful modules and easy to do advanced stuff. Lisp teaches you a lot about programming, and has led innovation several generations. Python is objective, and fast. Some people like java. because partly maybe it is easy to develop GUIs. if you want that. Python has TCL/TK interface. Perl has C interface, etc etch. many other languages available in Debian ... As far as powerpc goes, the scripted languages are probably more portable, as the language itself contains more in the core that is already ported. Some languages that are not are more portable, some work better on powerpc -- particularly in the Lisp section. Java was bad for a long time because IBM was sort of closed and did the powerpc but now the standard Sun java is available it may be better, however apple still uses their own java for MacOSX....
