After trying Euphoria for a few days, it seems to me to be an ideal language for teaching programming to beginners. It is similar to Pascal & C, traditionally used for teaching. It also has interpreter mode similar to BASIC, which is usually used with beginners.
It is simple and at the same time safer than C. The concepts of procedures, functions, variables, include files, loops (for, while), conditional statements (if-then-elsif-else, switch) etc are clearly seen in this language.
I think Euphoria can be promoted as an ideal language for beginners, including kids, who are starting to learn programming.
