This is going to be a bit of a wild answer... But I'm going to say Awk. All the basic programming constructs/concepts are there, without having to get lost in compilers, IDEs, makefiles etc. On Windows you can get coding with just a single gawk.exe binary doing very practical things for real world tasks. Not to mention the original Awk book is maybe a 4 hour read, and very understandable.
