windows programming

i read SICP, learned haskell, and have now realized that in order to get a real job i need to learn some windows programming. nobody will hire you just because you understand loeb.

what's the best languages that are used today?

>>However... programming on a Windows platform is a kind of nightmare! That's why I feel to work with java, that gives you enough abstraction to avoid the very BAD windows API.

That's exactly why, ten years ago, I taught myself Java.  I would write Win32 of MFC GUIs for pay, but not in my own time.
