On “Best programming language for high-school students”

Check out this video from one of the creators of Racket, talking about how they use it to teach programming to middle and high school students: link to this video Then there's the Code World project which aims to replicate Racket's success with Haskell, by teaching a simplified version of Haskell to students: link to this video I recommend checking out both projects even if you choose to go with another language.

Are you familiar with /u/cdsmith's Code World curriculum to teach programming to young children using a programming environment which uses Haskell to draw pictures and play games written by the children? Are you familiar with [Simon Peyton Jones's work on revamping the UK's curriculum to better teach computing to children]?
