My intro class was taught in lisp (and had been for the previous decade or more), but I learned that about 2 years after I graduated that they also began offering it in Python.
Several of my class thought that was a very "useless" way to kick off the degree, but I really liked the immediate introduction to recursion (blew my mind when it clicked) and felt it leveled the playing field quite a bit for everyone entering the course.
