What programming language should I learn as my second one?

I already know Perl. I'm thinking either Python, C, C++, or Java.

What programming language should I learn as my second one?
You know perl so if you want a langauge:





...that makes sense: Python





...that is an original 3rd gen language: C





...that is a real object oriented language: C++





...that can help you get a job and make some money: Java
Reply:either java or c++...probably java. This summer i had an internship, and more people were using Java than any of the other languages you have listed.
Reply:I'd say PHP, its build off of C %26amp; perl so it will be more familiar to you. It also has OOP so you can learn the benefits of that in a language that is more forgiving and familiar. Also, if your using perl for web applications it only makes sense to go with php. From there then you can go to other languages.
Reply:It really depends on what you want to do with it. C/C++ are good languages for performance-tuned applications. They give you lower level control of system resources, and allow you to fine-tune you applications more than a language like Java. C/C++ are most often the languages things like games and high-performance applications are written in.





Java is a great language for web-based work, or applications that don't need to be quite as fine-tuned.. It frees your from having to deal with low-level memory management and other frustrating/time-consuming details. It has an excellent set of standard pre-built objects, and allows you to easily set up complex processes like database interaction and inter-application communication.
