High-level interpreted languages that are not strongly coupled with the computer itself, eg: Scheme. Python is also very good but the control flow and statements leak something under the abstraction layer.
The goal is to teach how to thinking in computation (not computer) and be able to finish common tasks as excel and SQL can do. And also be able to write a small website if the students want to take a quick look at the documentation.
Anything associated more with current 'Von Neumann' computers (eg: C) should be taught to CS students.
