I think Processing (https://processing.org/) is a great choice for first time programmers.

I would say javascript is by far the best, not because of the language itself, but because it lets them work and modify something they're already using a lot : the web and a browser.
A close second could be swift for the same reason ( and also because you can start smoothly with just drag n dropping on a storyboard, then slowly add dynamic behavior with code).
