For web needs i'd recommend php and for real programming - python

For me its C/C++, i work with that at the work. Other staff like VB, Java, its not good as C/C++. C/C++ is the most powerfull language, allmost all aplications that has been created, its created with C/C++. Bigest documentations, esay way to including .h file, and objects in project, powerfull debug system included in language. In the global way, C/C++ is the best for Windows/Linux APIs

Python FTW its not only easy for the programmer but the functions and calls are easy to make and use + it is updated by the comunity

C+ASM.

asm is the lowest language so it can do ANYTHING immaginable.

my only problem with ASM is that programming for different processors can be a headache.

c is supported basically everywhere and is powerful too.

I think you should of made a difference from web development tools and the program ones. For software, I think the best is C++. It ain't so hard to learn, you can make anything with it (especially if you have a RAD like Borland C++ Builder or Microsoft Visual C++). For web development, I think that you should first learn HTML and then PHP, and start to use MySQL databases. You can make great stuff with those.

In my opinion visual C++ isn't c++, not anymore atleast.

c++ .net is a totally different language from c++.

There is simplest one -> maybe python.
There is fastest one -> C/C++.
There is best one at all -> PERL

use Perl;

Correction::

Simplest: BASIC
Fastest: ASM

and btw... PERL was made with C. So it can't be better than C. Plus perl is a scripting language... can't really say its the most powerful one
