Actually, the most useful programming language depends on
the programming project at hand. For example, C++ would be
a terrible choice for writing many Unix system management
tools, but it would be a superb choice for writing many
other classifications of software. For web programming,
Java is an excellent choice, or perl. For programming
under Microsoft's IIS, there's something to be said for
visual basic, c#, or v.net.

So the best language depends on what you want to do.
