(First, you can not learn 10 languages in a year.)<p>Well, this is only a list of the 10 most “popular” languages according to someone. It’s interesting to compare this to the TIOBE Index: <a href="http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index....</a> (that is only a list of the 10 most “popular” languages according to someone). It’s not the same order and they skipped VB6 and VB.Net, so Ruby entered the list.
A very reasonable, or perhaps just obvious, list of languages. Not a particularly exciting list though. A much more interesting list would perhaps be R, D, Clojure, CoffeeScript, Go, Processing, Dart, Python, Opa, and Chapel. Although, to be fair, only CoffeeScript, Clojure or Python are will get you a job from that lot.
