The Laptop comes with Python, as well as a Python interactive shell. It also comes with Javascript, Squeak, Csound, and most likely a LOGO.

Other general-purpose programming languages currently available as Free Software for Linux include LOGO, Smalltalk/gst, Squeak, LISP/Scheme/Guile, Python, Perl, Ruby, Javascript, bash, awk, TCL, C, C++, Java, APL/A+/J, FORTH, FORTRAN, Ada, Haskell, Pascal, Erlang, Kaya, Lua, Oz, Ocaml, Pike, Scala, Slate, and SPL.

Debian Jr. Programming (junior-programming) is a package of languages meant for children, including Logo and Littlewizard.

Research has been done (links needed) on the use of APL, LISP, and LOGO, at least in elementary school classrooms.
