Your thoughts, if you please... I've been reading various threads/articles discussing the pros and cons of learning/writing in various programming languages (C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP etc.)
I do not have huge amounts of time to devote to learning a particular language but at the same time I am not in a hurry to learn a language for the sake of it (i.e. I'll keep dipping in over a long period of time). So far I have come to the conclusion that C is a good option because it is used in a lot of important stuff and runs quickly. At the same time Python is much easier to get to grips with. PHP is very web specific and Java is a pain to learn. What language do you think it would be most useful to start dipping my toes in to and why?
