I agree Forth could make a more optimal first language to learn. I often recommend beginners to learn all of Forth, C, Lisp & SmallTalk. Because they're all co

  With Forth (Starting Forth and Thinking Forth) and Lisp (especially CLOS or Scheme with SICP) you cover them all. Even Subleq+Eforth it's fine, you'll learn EForth (it can be set at muxleq.fth/subleq.ftj with some compatibility with do...loop and floats) and Subleq as a VM. It's highly documented and it even has a book to play with. EDIT: as a nice example, I had some pas.f example with a Pascal triangle. In order to get it working under eforth, I just had to define .r as u.r on top like: : .r u.r ; and that was it. It ran on both PForth and EForth. Eforth on a subleq (muxleq for performance) under an n270 Atom netbook.
