/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)

Sure a language can be outdated.  What ever happened to 80's Basic?  COBOL?  Dead.  Assembly, only used within other languages now a days.  C has been mostly replaced by C++, and with the internet compiled languages are fading except for specialized tasks like games.  CPUs are so fast now there's not much of a reason to have have everything compiled.  Have you looked at the linux lately?  There's a shit load of python scripts going on behind the scenes.
