Ok, I currently know
Scar (Delphi),
Turning (This will never ever ever be used ever),
Java,
all to at least a moderate level.
I just cannot bring myself to master any language… Ignoring the fact that I should master these ones first, which language do you recommend that I should learn next?
I got some candidates:
C#
C++
Pearl (erm… did this die?)
PHP
HTML
???

Python, if you have to pick a new language. Otherwise, work on mastering the ones you already know.

Just downloaded it.
Java looks better..

Agreed. IMHO you will get more value per unit of effort if you know what I mean.

What are you planning to do with your newfound language, and what OS(es) do you run on a regular basis?

funny guy… :p
Anyway, if I were you, mrpickle, I would have learned C++. It's one of the most used language and it's great to know how to use it :)
EDIT: and if you're running Linux then there is lots of good compilers that are very easy to find. If not then you would have to google for one

Turning ? O.o
I'd say python ;).

Delphi, if you're a windows-geek ;)

Reason I want new language. I guess it can be in a way "ADD". That's cause I just cannot bring myself to stay solid on any one langauge for a long time, thus, mastering becomes kinda difficult.
I took a look @ python. Didn't like it.
I looked @ cpp… It looks just like java. might do that
Delphi = maybe.
I run xp Media Edition and 98.
Used macs before too, but didn't like the cost.
I might just try cpp. It allows for a new langauge, as well as in a way, furthur developping java :).
Master java.
Otherwise, force yourself to learn python lol. Python is really versatile and is used in a lot of places.

Bebe +1!
as IRC guys know ima Ruby guy, and I like it.
python and Ruby are very similar so i'm not against python, it's just that I prefer Ruby, I love how _everything_ is an object, procs etc, but in python I just don't like the indentation rules and the colon (ends help my code be more readable imo)
but yeah, I'd say work on mastering your current language, I'd rather be a guru on one language then go to another than try to learn two at once (doing the former would make learning another language a whole lot easier (though FP such as Haskell, Erlang and LISP wouldn't be the usual C-style ;)))
