Which language to learn?

I know that this has to be a quite frequently asked question, but a group only gets more valuable members by helping people who want to learn. Currently I'm sort of proficient with DOS commands. Obviously you cannot create a complicated graphical program out of DOS. I've heard all over this board that Python sucks, which ironically is the one language most of my friends recommended learning. What language can I learn that is actually useful?

I come to /prog/ for you guys are the only assholes on the internet that will bash other languages if they do suck. Forums have to be 'unbiased' and 'neutral'.

I know IHBT, but strong/weak is orthogonal to static/dynamic. A dynamic language is one where any variable or data structure can refer to a value of any type. A weakly typed language is one where you can read a value of type X as if it were a value of type Y, with no regard as to whether it will come back as gibberish.

C has static weak typing. Scheme has strong dynamic typing. Objective-C has (sort of) dynamic weak typing. Haskell has strong static typing. These are the words of the Beast, whose army will rise from the blood of the innocent to make war against God. I found the knitting pattern for her hand warmers.

Love the made up bullshit, keep it up ;)

I like the summary "In static typing, variables have types; In dynamic typing, values have types", although I can't think where I heard it originally.

Haskell has strong static typing
THE BEST KIND

>>55 Oh no you didn't

It was going to be said either now or in the future. He did the right thing, it couldn't be left like that forever.
