What is the easiest and most effiecient language to learn?

[threat2life]

I read somewhere that python is very efficient, somewhere it said Java is the best way to master your programming skills.
I am good at C and now i wan to go further deep into studying programming...So kindly guide me through this...

I've only worked with c++, and in the beginning it was a bit crazy... but after two weeks I caught on and it became pretty easy. So I don't know if that helped but yeahh i've heard python is a really good starter.

I would definitely recommend functional programming to everyone who wishes to become a better programmer. Not saying that functional languages are efficient, but the feeling I had when I grasped recursion, higher order functions and value vs. side-effect was very much like http://xkcd.com/224/.

Not really recommending LISP, the syntax is special (it's structure is interesting though). Haskell, SML or Erlang are more modern alternatives.

[Zaffron]

Are those common languages? I have never heard of them if they are...

[LarsH]

Functional programming is not a common paradigm, but if something makes you a better programmer it is studying a language of a different paradigm than what you already know.

C#, Java, or Python. I don't really like Python, but a lot of people here seem to like it.
