Actually, I started teaching postscript in the ``survey of programming
languages'' class I teach. It's an interesting language for students --
interpreters are readily available and they can do something 'neat' with
the program in a short amount of space.
It is also one of the few post-fix languages available and gives them
pause to think about the role of programming languages in their world --
you begin to think differently about PL's if you realize your printer
communicates via one.
