Default Re: Best Language to Learn?

Oh, please, Ada is like PL/I: a good language hiding inside a vast, elephantine hulk.

EDIT:
The problem with basic is that it creates bad habits that, once learned, are hard to kick. I'll admit that other than VB, its speed isn't too bad, but still, it's not as useful as languages like Perl, shell scripting, Python, and C, because it wasn't designed for Unix from the ground up.
