/prog/'s opinion about some languages

Hey /prog/,

I'm new in this board, so sorry for being a retard.
I'm starting CS at university. After some pseudo-code, we started with Java and Microsoft .NET (Visual Basic...lol)

I had learned some Python, PHP and C++ beforehand by myself, but I'd like to hear your opinion about all the languages I've mentioned, and what languages are worth learning nowadays.

Thanks.
(I know this can lead to a trollfest, so I'm just asking for YOUR opinion)

I think everyone needs to learn both low-level imperative programming (any non-OO language with manual memoru management and NO EXCEPTIONS like C or Pascal), high-level functional programming (Haskell or Scheme), and some immersive OOP (Ruby or another Smalltalk derivative). If you don't want that range of experience, you might as well kill yourself and stop raping us with your shitty code.

Also, I personally write Perl most of the time.
