For improving my programming skills I want to follow "learn a new language a year". What we can learn in 2011

Question

I want to learn a new programming language in 2011. I am a java progmrammer, with not more than a year experience. I want to learn something which is really new and exciting, but not related to mobiles (iPhone, Android, iPad, Symbian).

Answer 1

I would suggest that you should give Scala a try.Its a language which runs on JVM and it is very much like Java syntactically,so you can easily pick up.Python is another good option.
