I usually suggest python to people who do not have a primary role as a programmer. Most recently it's been some GIS folks who just need some basic programming now and then. That being said, I'll probably get my kids going on Python or JavaScript first, even though I started with Basic, Pascal, Fortran and C (can't really remember which came first, probably basic).
