It really depends on what you want to accomplish or do. I find that if I 
want something done quickly, I use Python. (Actually, I'm finding I like 
Python for everything else as well...) But, I also like to use C (I'm 
slowly learning C++ and Java) for other things where I think the 
language does a better job.

So, for learning purposes (+ everything else, really) I'd go with Python 
or C / C++.
