Having just watched:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretati...

and recalling a comparative programming language class from college, I'd be inclined to argue for Lisp and the idea of the students creating a programming language during the course of the class.

The thing I find most striking is that the book:

_How to Think Like a Computer Scientist_

(now _Think Python_)

has had many different versions for different languages, but apparently not for Lisp.
