For your specific purpose of learning a language to get a job, I suggest visiting the site http://mshiltonj.com/sm/categories/languages/ , where it appears that Python is mentioned about as often as Fortran or Ada in job listings at dice.com . Apart from Java, two languages in demand are C++ and Visual Basic. C++ may be easier to learn along with Java since the syntax is similar, but VB is a very easy language to learn and use. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
