To someone marginally skilled at logical thinking Haskell appears to be the first choice as the first programming language. I'm offering two experiences as a reference:
* A friend of mine with no technical and no math background wanted to learn programming. I decided to go with Haskell, because it would be an interesting experiment.
The experiment turned out to be very successful.
I suspect that most experiments in teaching programming languages with one-to-one tuition are! If the guy had posted saying "Hey, I have a friend who knows Haskell really well and wants to teach me" then I'd have said that he should very seriously consider it.
