Well before you pigeonhole any of the languages you should take a look around: you mentioned C++ as being used in games - EVE Online is run on python based engine, for example (and Civ IV uses it a little bit). If you are new to programming i sincerely recommend looking at http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html; my first language was python too :). It's fun, simple and yet also very versatile.





Good Luck
