Its that time again (suggest a language)

Name: Anonymous 2007-04-26 3:48 ID:WgsXgi3d

What's the best language for a complete beginner to pick up and learn?

I'm able to read through sources in various languages and understand whats happening on a fundamental level.

I want to learn a language over the next 3~5 months and i cant make any informed desicions on which.

Suggest the language best suited to an entry level programmer.

>>98

Why assume that its OVER NINE THOUSAND levels above my expertise?
And even if this turns out to be the case i can easily get hold of readily available documentation and actualy figure out what im doing wrong and what to do to correct it.

I can read and follow whats going on in source code (of which theres a fuckton available) and at the end of the day i'll wind up with a very good understanding of a language thats actualy of some use in the real world.

I made no assumptions anywhere that learning c++ was going to be a straightforward and easy task, but nothing worthwhile ever really is.

I could do a lot worse, i could be learning pascal or basic or any other multitude of languages that serve no proven real world application.

Im also under no allusions that i will be programming any MMORPG software, i'll leave that up to the Koreans. My interests don't lay with developing games, i rarely even play the things.
If you had read the post you would see exactly what im trying to achieve, nothing hueg just small projects geared towards learning the learning curve shouldnt be all that steep and im pretty sure i'll wind up advancing to a timescale that suits me.
I dont need to know a language inside and out yesterday, im happy taking my time on smaller details knowing that i will benifit my education in the longer term.
