Regardless of what you think of Stanley Fish as an intellectual, academic, educator, or adminstrator, this New York Times op-ed piece on designing new languages should resonate with anyone who calls themselves a computer scientist.
If you could get the infrastructure right, Fish's exercise would be fun to pull on a bunch of unsuspecting super neophyte programmers. Students who didn't know enough to "know" that designing a language is supposed to be hard. Combine with Stroustrup's maxim "library design is language design" for maximum effect.
