None of the above.

Learn Ruby.

I suggest you stick with Turing for now. Despite all the bashing Turing gets, it is quite good for teaching the basics. And there are lots of tricks Turing can still teach you. Learning a more advanced language will be far more difficult if you haven't got the basics of programming mastered, something that Turing can do for you. And when I say basics, I don't mean if statements and arrays. I mean everything up to classes. Inheritence and polymorphism are good to fiddle around with in Turing.

To answer your question though, Ruby gets my vote. Or you could take a "smoother learning curve", and learn O'Caml. Wink

You should also look at our where to go next thread.

And, please don't type in all caps.

I'd reccomend not ruby.

Take turing a lot further (finish up at least 80% of the Turing Walkthrough). It'll be a quicker go than going through most other languages, and it'll prep you for better for those other, more nasty bits.

And then start off with something that's not altogether removed from Turing. Java probably wouldn't be a bad start.

If Java is going to follow Turing, make certain that you are familiar with classes and inheritence in Turing.
