Yeah, we tried qb64 out a few days ago. Its IDE is a little broken in the latest release. Any time you press any key, you have to wait anywhere from 2-5 seconds before the computer reacts. It's apparently part of its syntax-check-as-you-type program, but there's no obvious way to turn it off. I just tried DrRacket last night, and the IDE was pretty confusing to get started with for me. Plus I think it will be easier for him to get started with a non-Lisp language. (Disclaimer: my favorite language right now is Clojure.)
