Its that time again (suggest a language)

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.

I don't understand why some people are so adamantly against typed variables.

Why do some people not like static typing? Because it's more boilerplate, code, and effort. Unfortunately, some people also fail to notice that dynamic typing causes some errors to take a long time to be caught. That's bad for development time too. What takes longer: catching a type error with a test case or during compilation?

The correct answer is optional and inferred typing. Unfortunately, not a lot of languages have optional typing at the moment, but the least the Ruby and Python fanboys could have done is ripped off Perl's lexical typing and strict mode; it's better than nothing, without losing anything.

Of course they didn't. Idiots.
