I say, pick one language on the big nanny runtimes, and get really good at both.
F# is my preferred language on the CLR, and Clojure is my favorite on the JVM. Clojure in particular is worth learning. It's a Lisp that's evolved on a mature, ubiquitous runtime at the epicenter of big data, parallel processing, and concurrency. Once you "grok" it you'll be forever annoyed at how much pomp and circumstance the syntaxes of most other languages force you to endure. Elimination of incidental complexity FTW!
