Which Programming Language Should I Learn?

I'm not a clairvoyant, but I did win bets on Python and Ruby becoming very important when they were still little known outside the small circles of programmers. So, today I'm going to pronounce Erlang as the next big thing. If you are looking for a new niche for yourself, then Erlang is definitely the language to learn. It is the tool that the next generation of the Internet will be built with and it badly needs libraries and frameworks. If you join the fun now, you can still become one of the pillars of the Erlang community and reap the rewards. Which is quite important in this difficult financial climate.
