fast language?

i'm looking to computer a few things, but i need a very fast programming language that isn't too complicated to learn. i don't need anything beyond the simple things such as methods/functions, file I/O, etc.

any suggestions?

Computers aren't magic.  If you need something faster than what you've tried, it means you need to put time and effort into learning and testing.  Don't ask for a silver bullet. faggot
