This language certainly looks powerful, but it doesn't really seem to suit the 
goals I'm aiming for.  Pascal already works quite well, but its main problems 
are lack of OOP and scarce use, neither of which would appear to be solved 
with this language.  Also, databases are quite a bit more advanced than 
anything I'd want to see taught in a first-year programming class.  Thanks 
for the advice though!
