I already said Fortran!

QBasic, beyotch.

You don't need to learn assembly. People just like to say it because it is hard/smallest/fastest/most capability. But the fact is, computers are fast enough today that they don't need programs to be written in assembly. They also have big enough hard drives for other languages that are easier to learn and allow for faster programming. Learn C++.

Umm... no. ALL languages stem from assembly (which stems from machine language). And it's not the hardest/smallest/fastest and it sure as hell doesn't have the most capability. Anyway, most compilers for most languages compile either into machine language or into assembly.

Depends: If you want to make higher ended programs, learn C++, then maybe a visual language and higher level languages. If you want to learn flash-like programs, learn Flash(duh) and other visual languages. For internet and network related stuff learn HTML, java, then get into PHP and/or pearl & CGI. For databases learn how to use foxpro.

Basically learn C++, html, a visual language and php for all around basic knowleadge(I'm biased, though, due to the fact I like C++ of all the languages I looked at). But all in all, it's not what language you learn, but if you can learn the basic structures of all languages. I mean there is not too much variaty you can have on an If-then-else test. Know the basics and you can pick up on the syntax easily.

Actually, it's funny you mention that.. depending on the language, if you declare a variable in the If-then-else loop, once you leave the loop's scope the variable could still be in memory, or it could be deleted by then. ...interesting.

It depends on your compiler, too. Some of them are different, even with the same language.
