I'm most interested in...
-----------------------------------
After having me yap here for ages beyond count about languages other than those "officially" supported, which generates the most interest for you?  Which are you most likely to spend some time learning?

My plan of action right now is....finish off with Turing, Ruby, Java, C++

wtd, i know you'll say leave out Java, but it's what they do in Grade 11 compsci, so what can i do.

And yeah, I was only listing languages people might want to learn.  ;)

I voted Haskell (very sick language!)

But if perl6 comes out any time soon. it definitely would be Perl

I vote for whatever i need to learn to pass my classes. Other then that I think i'll stick to C++ and Pascal, php for the web, and maybe a little java if i really need to.

I'll probably learn Python and Ruby, along with C and C++.  I'll also work a bit on java, but really leave that till next year.

What's kind of funny is that my school has turing for grade 10 AND 11 compsci, which sucks, really.  I don't like turing :P  *is looking forward to java stuff in grade 12*

Well I already know Basic, C, C++, Turing, Pascal, Visual Basic, PHP, Java, MIPS Assembler, a little i86 assembler, and a little shell scripting, as well as a handfull of psudo languages used for formal verification so my horizons are quite broad :D

Of course, I'm still far far from knowing as much Ruby as I'd like.  :(

Although I'm concentrating on finishing up c++/java, I might finish VB (again) starting the next school year. I never liked VB, I did some things in it back when I was 6/7 when it didn't make compleat sense, then again when I was 11/12 when I had a good understanding of it, and it looks like I'm headed into it again now when I'm 17.

A note:  "Javascript" has no relation at all to Java, save that Netscape wanted a flashy name that would confuse people into believing the two were related so they could piggyback on the Java PR blitz.

if Java == Javascript
   pigs.fly

Hah, [url=http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/]BF is great. 56kers don't even have to worry about downloading the 200k compiler.

Wow.  Good luck with that.   x86 assembly is some pretty nasty stuff, and there are far more academic resources for that which focus on Windows.

It's called "The Art of Computer Programming" or something like that... it's an assembly book that focuses on x86 on Debian. Apparently it's one of the more enlightening books out there. If I had time, I wouldn't mind reading that myself :D
