what programming language to pick up

Hi,
I want to know your experience on what programming language to pick up when you are data miner/statistician in a full time job. Some companies asked for background in C++, Perl, or Visual Basic. Thanks.

Python is a great language; has great library support and has compilers on all platforms. You can use IronPython in the .net world as well. Cool projects include scipy.org and rpy, so you can use R from python.

It's good to have as many tools in your toolbox as possible, and python is a nice tool.
