I've never really got the hang of Assembly language, knowing that would be nice, can't be bothered though.

If I didn't already know C++, I would have picked that. I picked Java, because I think it's a powerful language considering it doesn't run directly from the OS, and it would be easier to make online games/apps with. I've actually tried getting into it once, but for some reason struggled to get everything started (even with the help of a friend who knew what he was doing), so I left it.
Seem's like I'll be obligated into learning Visual Basic next in my computing class though, that will be boring (nobody in my class has programmed before :\).

Honestly Java's obsolete; you should just use Scala or Clojure.

From the list I would say Java as it is so easy to use with the Netbeans compiler. But my favourite which isn't on the list is php/php-gtk.

I'd like to learn electronics more. So that my programs are all just a series of resistor-transistor logic gates, and other low-level awesomeness.
Then I'd like to learn chemistry and physics better. So that I could develop functions on a picometre level.

Reminds me of this hard-wired (addition) calculator I made once in a systems class, guess I skipped ahead a bit. [link]

I think the pole is limited to 10 items, so it's always good to haveother. Solving science and engineering problems, to me at least, is easiest with Python.

you don't need to hard wire it.
Don't you think I know that? :icon_neutral:
The point is, Ican hard wire it.

The best kind of learning is learning by doing, or as more educated folks have said, "the maximal level of performance for individuals in a given domain is not attained automatically as a function of extended experience, but the level of performance can be increased even by highly experienced individuals as a result of deliberate efforts to improve."

I voted C++ and Java, and the poll results show it seems that most people share the roughly same idea with me!

I like C#, but like to know more about IronPython that feeds into C#.
