Why don't we ask the kids? I've actually seen quite a few people asking what a good language to teach to children would be. Unfortunately, I think the vast majority of us are inexcusably biased. Therefore, I think someone should get together a group of kids, put them all in the same room, and give them a selection of languages. Let them play with whatever language(s) they pick, and see what happens. To answer the original article, I think Javascript is a good language to start with. My first 'language' was HTML, and the great thing about the browser languages is that you can show your creations off really easily.
