It all depends on what you want to do - different programming languages
suit different tasks (and different people).

I would advise against C++ - I've seen your posts in comp.lang.c, and
know how you have struggled with just about everything in C.  C++ will
not be easier.

Try Python.  It will be simpler and clearer than C, C++ or Perl, and far
more flexible than Bash.  Since it is interactive and interpreted, it
can easily be used in a "trial and error" style that lets you see what
is happening (and what is going wrong).
