What is the best language to start programming in Ethereum?

Question

I have an introduction to C++ under my belt (very simple stuff), and other skills like an occasional R script, that's about it.

Where should I go from here?

You should learn JavaScript and libraries like meteor.js, web3.js or ethereumjs-lib to build DApps.

To deploy them on the blockchain, you should learn Solidity, the one contract language to rule them all. With the best documenation and built to survive the other contract languages.

One eye on solc, which has similar syntax compared to C, Java, or C++, but with ethereum specific add-ons. Put the other eye on Javascript, mos def. Maybe put a third eye on html.

I'd check out Vyper @ http://viper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-vyper.html! It's still in experimental phases but it's the "python like" equivalent of solidity. :+)
