Java or Javascript. Both are tolerable, even enjoyable at times. Java and C
have held top spot for quite a while. Javascript is universally needed
because it has a monopoly on the web. C# wouldn't be bad except for being
wedded to M$. I have only tried Objective-C once, so not really qualified
to debate its merits.

Though as a programmer, it's not like you have to worry about job security,
especially if you know rails, which has demand far in excess of supply.
