The Perl guys will say Perl.
The Python guys will say Python.
The C++ guys will say C++.

It all depends on what you want to do. Sometime it depends on what OS you will be using.

Programming languages do not exist in a vaccuum. There is a reason why they were developed. If your reasons match their reasons, then that's the language to learn.

I will say that unless you work in a language ona consistent basis, you will forget it. Therefore, try to pick a language that you arel likely to use.

Yeah. PHP is better than all of those :P

Seriously, though, better to learn for what? You'll have a harder time with TCL if you want to write web applications, for example.

i've been researching this issue for a while and can't come to any conclusive answer, mostly it seems to be a preference over syntax, some saying c# is elegant while vb is clunky, or that c# is geeky while vb is more naturally legible. there dont seem to be many capabilities in one over the other, at least with whidbey, so basically, is there...
