Python. We taught that for an introductory programming course for non-CS majors. It's the one of the simpliest programming language one can learn.

I always thought that MIT's teaching scheme/lisp to non-CS majors was a good idea.

MATLAB is quite powerful for theoretical modeling and data analysis. You can't really make games with it..... well, unless you consider things like Hough transforms, localized regressive smoothing, or stochastic processes to be games.

Scheme is amazing, even for CS majors. It was so ahead of its time and has absolutely no syntax-related issues. A perfect learning tool to teach recursion, tail-recursion, lambda calculus, logical flow.
