Consider Python, the world's fourth-most-popular language, and perhaps

I consider Guido one of the deep thinkers of language design.
Nonetheless, python has many pitfalls for developers. There's a
wonderful little O'Reilly pamphlet by Mike Pirnat entitled "How to Make
Mistakes in Python". IMNSHO LiveCode has more to offer newcomers due in
no small part to the approachability of the language.
