Hi,

Well, we're firmly into religious territory here.

Every language has it's virtues and warts. Think carefully about what you
want in a language for teaching students about programming languages.

Make a choice and go from there. Remember it is a vehicle for making
computers do what you want and, to some degree, also structures how we
think about solving particular problems.  Linux supports a _very_ large
number of them. Yah!
