If you have the choice, choose Java or C++ first, then C later.

I'm already loyal to REBOL (its got a very high "cool" rating). But I think I have to really dive in to it to learn it. I've written two funcional scripts, but I'm out of stuff to do. > > Any ideas about how I can creep up the learning curve? As Elan suggested, a REBOL language or dialect that generates Java or C++ code would be interesting and would greatly increase your skill level in that language and in REBOL.
