My 10c FWIW:
Euphoria:
Is fast and programmer friendly. Its small, runs very fast, and importantly its fast to write and debug too.
Most runtime checks are done for you by the interpreter, and it cannot crash your PC unless you call faulty machine code.
If you want to compile your code, you can do that as well, and the executable is small and won't need
other runtime libraries. Euphoria is a general purpose language and is ideal for beginners.
There is a forum where everyone from the language developers to newbies are represented.
Many platforms are supported: Windows, Linux, Mac, OpenBSD, Solaris.
Lots of routines and demos have already been added to the searchable Euphoria archives by
enthusiastic supporters.
Euphoria started in 1993 and is now open source. There is lots of development in progress. The current official release
is Euphoria v3.11 available from www.rapideuphoria.com and the development release is v4.0 Beta 3
availible from sourceforge. (link here) This beta is very stable and usable, in fact the www.openeuphoria.org website runs on it.
