I have no real need to learn anything for a job, it's just a hobby right now. I mostly just want "a programming language that has a different philosophy or approach than Python". However, you guys are right, if I just learn a language without a reason, it will be worthless.
When I tried to learn C++, I just got extremely confused, I didn't even understand the basic "Hello World" script. I may have given up too quickly; maybe I should try again, or maybe I'll try C. I was thinking about Java, and I heard about Lisp, I heard that it would supposedly make you a better programmer or something. I looked at Lisp, but I wasn't sure which one to use, Scheme or Common Lisp. I think I heard the same about Haskell, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly. Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm thinking about trying to go back to C++ or C, to study a a lower level language, or maybe Lisp, just to see different techniques in a high level language. I guess I have to accept that things will be different in any language, and if I want to learn different methods and gain new abilities, I'll just have suck it up and start reading.
