I'm planning to learn a new scripting language. I'd like some ideas on which one to learn and why. Thanks in advance.

Desktop or web? What are you going to be developing? If its web id go with PHP if desktop id pick C/CPP.

Isn't there something for both ? Maybe something like vbscript ?
In any case, I thought there would be any easier way to do some stuff on the desktop without writing a C program for it.

You can use PHP with GTK+ to develop desktop applications.

A spammer's worst nightmare
There are a LOT of scripting languages. For web development, I recommend JavaScript. For applications, Python and Perl are pretty common. Things you have to consider:
1) What OSs do you want to script on? Bash is great for Linux, not so much for Windows. VBScript is the reverse.
2) What do you want to do with your script? Embed it in an another program, embed it in a web page, run it like a batch file, other?
Ultimately, being a scripting language just means it's interpreted rather than compiled.
