Tried to learn Java, then Python.
Then tried to learn Objective C and Cocoa. I don't think I have the attention span to do it. Seems impossible to memorise everything.

public static void main(String[] args)

We did VB.Net at school, so I'm pretty good at using that now. I've also been using C# in Visual Studio and fiddled around with XNA. I've made stuff with ActionScript 2.0 as well, and also various web code such as HTML, CSS, etc.

Apparently now I'm going to be studying Java in my first year at uni, and also Modern Greek.

i know C++, but im planing to learn python or java(and maybe lisp some day) when im done learning C++.
the first language i tried to learn was python but to no avail so i tryed to learn C++ which easier
but now that i look back python seems a lot easyer beacuse of learning C++ has helped.

You found C++ easier to learn than Python?

Dude, you are twisted.

And you can start building powerful web pages with them straight away.

Definitely recommend it.

tips on how i can learn that fast?

Python's syntax is horrible at best, full stop. ( Seriously )


I focus towards more (UNIX|LINUX|BSD*) development so yes, the languages i know are biased towards the operating system i use, ( Slackware Linux -Current ).

Perl
Assembly
C

The three fundamental languages for writing beautiful code.


s/Python/Perl/g;

The way it should be.

Currently: Java, C, LaTeX
Rest of Uni: R, Mathematica*, Maple*, MiniTab*, MATLAB (F# if I do a computer science major otherwise SQL)

Learning by myself: C++

*I know they aren't really languages shoosh

Any other ones I should try learn by myself for computational finance/operations research?

I admire your efforts in learning C++ on your own. It's such a hacked up language (but very fast and powerful). It's probably the hardest popular language to learn and use well. Most documentation on most C++ code and libraries are really bad, the errors you get from gcc are not helpful, but operator overloading is pretty cool. I like to be able to use the ++ operator on iterators rather than going iterator.next().

There are some good boost libraries that make C++ very powerful, go check them out. C++0x will fix a lot of the problems with the current C++03 standard as well as add a lot of good features, especially auto types and rvalues. ...I was doing ok until I learned about template meta programming and that just completely blew my mind Although it should be easier to understand if you've learned a functional language before. I haven't so it completely blew my mind.
