Help?

Hey /prog/.
I was wondering, for vidya, which is the best language to learn?
Of course, I don't want to only be a game developer, but I'd most likely be focusing on that. I've heard a lot of arguments as to why different languages are better than each other, so I'm really not sure.
Thank-you /prog/

Language depends on the platforms you want to target. Want to make iOS games? Learn Objective-C. Want to make easily portable games? Learn Java. Want to make portable 3D games? Learn C (OpenGL). Want to make Windows games? Learn whatever the fuck Microsoft pushes these days, C#?

In any case, if you have no programming experience you need to learn *programming* first and it doesn't matter what language. Then you can think about learning specialized domains like game development and the techniques, frameworks and languages used in those domains.
