Yarr! Pyret always seemed like a great idea to me. It's still quite-scheme-y, and so can introduce functional programming ideas easily, without the hangups people normally have about syntax. It also has minimal weird-language-cruft that is hard to explain to beginners, that you'd normally have to be like "ok ignore the int argc, char argv for now". And it runs in the browser. Awesome. Can't wait to get a chance to dig in further.
