Since the major part of the members here already kind of has his major language which he uses, and later on he gets introduced to other languages - If you were now starting from scratch, coming to learn a new language, your first one with no prior experience in programming whatsoever, which would you learn?
I only included a few, if your choice is not here be sure to say it in your reply!
***
Important to note in your considerations:
Include also the usage of this programming in the world today.
For ex. if i'd include Pascal (which is a pretty easy language to learn) or HTML, they are quite easy but are not as advanced and used today in projects and products as others (opposing to languages for the .NET technology).

A spammer's worst nightmare
If you want to get up and running quickly, I'd go Delphi. C++ is still my favorite, though.

I only know two, C and Java. (I actually learned C++ but I forgot it completely.) And I would have to say Java is easier to learn. It's not a bad language to start with. What I find most important is that the Android is programmed in Java, so it'll be much easier for you to practice.

I'd say Python, due to the simplicity of the code and the good overview which is quite essential for a beginner. I started with Python myself :)

Speaks fluent binary
Python seems pretty easy to learn and pretty power full even though I like C++.
A man can be defined by what he does when no one is looking.

Why isn't there a LISP option?

Not many people on here know anything about LISP, I suspect.

My vote is for Scala, but there is no Scala on the list so I voted for Java.

One of the languages the Universe has been written in. Some think it is the only language the Universe has been written in, but actually it has been hacked together with Perl. ^^
BTW: LISP = Lost In Stupid Parenthesis

Wow, according to Wikipedia - AI is researched using this family of programming languages...
Sounds interesting.
