what's my next language to learn? So far I only know powershell. I don't need it for any big project, just some small games to learn the language. I'm thinking of python or c#.

python. then javascript, and when/if you decide you're ready for non-scripting, I'd go for java.

@noamtm No offence. I'd go the complete opposite direction. Learn OOP principles first through Java, then write beautifully constructed scripts :D

@ChrisCooney in general I agree, but if the OP has started with powershell, maybe the jump to java is to much. It's not clear if he/she is aiming for a programming career.

I agree with @noamtm, you should learn python next so its familiar. But learn python with classes so you're easing your way into OOP. Java should be an easier beast to tame after that 👍🏻

Whitespace, or maybe lolcode. Should be able to land you a good job.

Or you can check out the faq on /r/learnprogramming on reddit and try to find out what you actually want yourself.

It depends on the direction you want to take your career. What do you enjoy?

JavaScript. So much fun, especially once you get into Nodejs or Asmjs. hell you can even program microcontrollers with JavaScript.

Haskell, bro.

I would recommend Ruby over Python tho. Start with normal scripts into OOP and after that you could jump to pure OOP language like Java or C++ (I prefer Java over C++, but that's just me)

Ruby it's a great language and rails is hot.

@grolofson I like the syntax of Ruby a lot. It is so easy to create a dsl for your problems/programs. Python is probably a lot more powerful on its own but I think that Ruby is more convenient within itself. Getting the time plus 10 months is quite "natural": 10.months.from_now

Ruby is probably mostly used within rails, a really powerful Web framework.
