The choice of which formal (programming) language to use in CS1 has occupied or preoccupied computer science educators for some time now. Some have even dubbed the debate as the "language wars." We do not intend for this report to be is another salvo in this war. Instead, we wish to report on why one institution has decided on an unconventional choice--HyperTalk--and the successful results obtained from using it in CS1 for the past five semesters.
