Well, my newbies are corporate IT-types. Visual Basic and JavaScript are what 
they're familiar with, and they find Python scary and UNIX-centric (though 
it's getting better) and Perl unreadable.

Perhaps it's inevetible that a language aquires complexity until it's 
sufficient complex that an opportunity for a new language is created?
