That's a better question. > 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).
