Assembly. Just for the street cred, and it's pretty hard for me to learn by myself. Plus, what can't you do with assembly?

I'd go with Clojure, the Lightsaber of programming languages.

I'd have to say F# because I can not wrap my head around functional programming at all

Boo.NET comes in at a close second

and C# is in 3rd

Now F#. The power of .NET with the elegance of functional programming. I wish there was a market for it down here.

Women. Lord knows we need help in that one.

In all seriousness, probably Lisp. Macro programming at its finest at a level and class that still gives me headaches. Danged lambda calculus!

Hmm, I would choose whatever language that could be used to exploit backdoors in banking systems without getting caught. Sorry if that's a bit underhanded, but honestly, if you had a working function called PrintMoney(), would you complain?
