What programming language should I use?

I'm a newbie at programming and want to make a basic program...

If you want performance, you should use a low level language (such as C/C++). If you want to simplify the coding, you could use a managed language (such as Java, C# or VB.NET). That is not to say that a managed language wouldn't be more than sufficient. For instance, Paint.NET was written in C# (in addition to C++ for some things I believe).
