I dabbled in python whilst in high school. I've mostly just been gently trying to learn C and C++ via osmosis (Stacking a bunch of books around me and hoping I somehow absorb their knowledge through my pores).
I'm pretty fluent in Actionscript 3, which in turn is very similar to javascript. I'd recommend AS3 to anyone, simply because it's easy to learn and you can start seeing visual representations of your code very quickly, which in turn makes it feel more rewarding.
I'm beginning to get my head around the Lua way of thinking, it's just it's strangely cobbled together way of managing object orientated programming puts me off balance. I think it is definitely a C derivative.
