Of the two, I like Verilog better. A discrete event simulation language would be another option. A Functional Programming language - Main Options: APL, Haskell - You might not use these much, but it may give you insight on alternative ways to implement something in another language. ===What popular modern language should you not bother to learn?=== Visual Basic or VB.Net. -It's on the way out, being supplanted by C#, Python, and occasionally C. There's no longer a good reason to use it on new projects. Python is easier for quick apps. C# would use the same development environment and is better for significant projects. If you need an exe, aDelphi, C++, ~~program~~or C will give you that. When I've used Visual Basic, the library API's always felt 'kludgy', as a whole. What about C++? - I still like C++. But I think there are other languages that will provide higher programmer productivity in practice. Try D, Objective-C, Java, or Delphi instead.
