The universe keeps (emphatically) yowling at me to learn a progamming language. As part of my research in computational biophysics I'm attempting to learn python as rapidly as possible. But I'm trying to figure out which languages are most useful to learn, and which languages I should learn, since the universe has also rudely informed me that my odds of becoming a researcher in physics are somewhere between 0 and 1, but waaay closer to 0 than 1.
C and C++ are mentioned frequently. My father is a bit eccentric but he makes his bread by programming in Scheme and feeding it to a C interpreter while working for a big tech giant. He vigorously suggests I learn scheme.
Any others? Would two languages suffice (C, python and scheme)?
