C was not designed to teach programming, and I've argued before that it's
not a good language for beginners.  C was designed to be portable, easy
to implement, and fast, and as a result the language definition is a little
loose in places and some concepts are not as intuitive as they could be.
It was also designed to get out of the programmer's way as much as possible,
so it won't necessarily alert you when you're doing something stupid.  

You want simple, go with Lisp, it's about as simple as programming languages
get.

it is a good language for beginners
what beginner want? a language that program itself too?

in that time there are small cpu, and be fast had to be the way

but now i think the problem is only readability [doing one portable
language easy to read]

    Why is it any harder than anything else?

    C doesn't teach programming no. If you know programming C would be a 
cinch to learn. It's small, powerful. I don't know a thing about Lisp; 
except it might leave you talking funny if it's too big.
    The problem is learning algorithms. How to solve problems by 
programming. If one knew how to do that C is a dandy little language IMO 
anyway.

yes but if one not know a programming language as C: how to write down
algorithms without one language?

Pseudocode is not a programming language.  Many books on algorithms use 
pseudocode and it is my favorite method of conveying information of that 
sort.

In prehistoric days they had something called flow charts.

If you want to have some fun, look up the old NASA Apollo flight
computer and control system software documentation.

Language laws are there for a reason. In English they're there so people 
have a common frame of reference to understand what you're saying. It 
would not be a waste of time to learn them.

You're looking for Lisp.

Let's compare C and Lisp when C reaches 1029 pages, haha.

Common Lisp has undefined behaviour like a lot of other languages.

the BASIC i remember not has indentation not i remember more
instruction for a line

i mean, as that language: no UB + simple: some assembly language....
cpu instruction and a macro sys that allow indentation and more
instruction for line...

i can mean too C with fixed size type as uint32_t etc and operator on
them defined without UB...

i can mean too C++ as C for basic type, but the subset that has all
Class type and operator definiton on them constructor and destrcutor
etc operator= etc RAII seems to me they say

the design languages creators 
      forget the basic of the computer:
the stack (a way for have memory ok for creation and free ), 
      the registers (fixed size and defined operator witout UB)
          the jumps  (the loop and if not exist are all jumps)

than it seems nobody think about multi instruction for line
and minimize key words of the language for make fit all the routine in
one screen of PC and artistic apparence of routine self explained 
what it does using indentation

C/C++ are the more near... it use good the stack and ok indentation
too

I think you can do all of this in C - but some applications will require 
larger screens than others. :-)

the routines that not fit in a 8'' tablet screen are not ok or to be
only very few...
