Its important to note that many government granted monopolies are created to provide important services to all areas, not just those that are profitable.

While Python is my language of choice, I'm happy Waterloo starts off with Racket (Scheme/Lisp family language). Very little syntax to learn and great for recursion. I'm not really qualified to comment whats best, I just know I enjoyed it.
