When I was young the paramount thing to consider when picking a language making something cool that my friends/parents/anyone could play with. I could easily share little text adventure games and it was cool enough that I actually got other people to play them.. same thing with TI-85 programs. For this reason I wonder if Ruby will really get kids excited to program but I'm not sure (like you) what the alternative is.
