Counter view: there should be no such thing as an educational programming language. Some set of regular production languages that are sufficiently easy to learn that they can be used in education should exist. If not then collectively we're doing something wrong with language design. Random data point: I "taught" a middle school coding class for a couple years using JS. Turned out ok.
