CS> other languages.

When I was starting out, most of the early CS classes were taught in Pascal.
Later, we moved to C. Pascal was a much simpler language for teaching computer
science concepts than a lower-level language, and it's ability to easily code
quick hacks in it is bested only by BASIC or another interpeted language.
