C#? My first intro to programming was logo, and im recommending it as a language for small children any chance i get. For older kids, ruby, python and (why not?) scheme are good choices. I remember the day my teachers replaced logo with pascal with dread. Don't do that. I lost interest in programming for about 2-3 years do to that, and had to rediscover my love with python much later.

But looking back, i believe languages don't mater that much, as long as the kid's having fun, you can have fun with C++ even, if it is introduced to you properly.
