The language you choose is incidental. Picking up a new
scripting language is comparable to learning German or French.
You're not learning how to read/write/talk again. You're
just memorizing a new vocabulary and slightly different
syntax. That's what quick references are for.
Another analogy (because I love analogies): Say you want
to build a house. You can go and buy all the tools required
for building a house, and learn to use them very well --
but you still won't know the first thing about building
a house. But if you start by learning how to build a house,
you'll learn the tools almost effortlessly. And leaning
new tools will be 10X easier once you understand how
to apply them.
Instead of thinking about what language to learn next,
I suggest you go for a bigger challenge: Learn a new
concept, such as object-oriented programming or
relational database design. You may end up learning
another language in the process, but like I said, the
language is incidental. It's the understanding of the
concepts that enable you to solve problems that make
you indispensable.
