support_ribbonson Ask HN: What language do you recommend I learn?

I know that you asked for a new programming language to learn.

But if you want to increase your skills as a programmer I think that learning algorithms and data structures that you don't know is better for your development than learning new programming language ( this book is a good one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms ) .

While learning hard algorithms and data structures you will also learn how to think in a new ways. Also I recommend reading about concurrency and parallel programming ( general texts, nothing language specific ).

This will help you in writing better code in any language and also in understanding code written by others.

Have you thought of outsourcing it using amazon mechanical turk ( https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome ) ?

I've seen that somebody made service for reviewing websites using it and was very pleased ( I tried to but couldn't find link to the story ).
