I'm already very proficient in these:
php
java
python
and I'm fast becoming proficient in ruby as a project i'm working on requires it.
I am also very proficient in javascript, bash, and pl/sql (I don't consider these programing languages).
If I had to select something I would want to spend time working in to learn/limprove on it would be:
Objective-C
C++
C# (mono)
You don't consider ECMAScript to be a fully fledged programming language?
As for me
1. Lisp
2. Haskell
3. Python
Working on #3 now ;p
I evaluate languages not on what it might be able to do, but it's common use. For example I have some very complicated scripts in bash that most people would call programs. But to me they are scripts. I don't have a real hard and fast line on what is a program and what is a script, but most of the javascript I write and have seen others write I would call a script.
Not that you can do awesome things with scripting. I used to consider php scripting for a long time. Actually, I guess I still do for the most part.
Ive always drawn the line between script and program in the compiling. If it isn't compiled then its a script. If it is, then its a program. thus making languages like perl and php both scripts and programming languages.
