I find python simple to learn even for beginners. I have initiated my
daughter, who is 12 years old, to programming using python. She found
it easy and did a few programs on her own, mostly math related. With
this experience in hand I would not hesitate to say, Python can be the
first language to be taught.
Earlier I used to program in lisp, which is clearly slower than python.
Python is possibly faster among the interpreters, but I have to check.
