If I want to develop stuff for PW, what programming language I need to learn?

Topic.

I also have an interest in trying my hand at programming languages, and since I have dealt with PWI so long, may as well start with it..

Am not designing my own server. Maybe something else.

Anything that's Turing Complete. Helps if it's native though depending on what you want, and depending on if you want to open source it.

I had to look that up.

Sad that Python isn't one of them, since apparently this is the goto language for beginners. So far my options are C, C++ and Java. I'd probably go with java as I have a better grasp of OO stuff.

Why not python? I mean, it'S most certainly the slowest of the ones you listed, and the indentation/untyped stuff isn't for everybody, but it works just as well as anything else.

You can write OO with cpp also, but yes, java is a good starting language, and personally my least faviourite of all you listed (too verbose).

Cheers

PS : the turing completeness was a joke, every relevant language is TC :)
