Next to C/C++ ..what else does Linux want?

[NewWithoutClue]

As the name suggests, I am new to Linux. I don't feel I'm ready for C or C++, ATM. Do not judge me, I have my way of doing things, as do you.

So what's your thoughts, huh? come on, answer! :D

Regards,
Paul.

Thoughts on what? You didn't ask a question.

If you want to program but don't want to head for C or C++, go for Python or Ruby. Python is my choice http://www.python.org

Question asked? hmm..well i wanted to know what would be a good language to program in with Linux. Python, eh? Paul.

EDIT: by the way...i come from Visual Basic..just a heads up :)

Yes, Python is a good choice for (K)Ubuntu.

If you go through some of the older posts in this forum you'll see that the question has been asked and answered several times.

I am sorry, but thanks for the answer anyway ;)

There are some vb compilers for linux, btw, and Mono are working on a vb.net compiler for their alternative .NET Framework at the moment.
