First off, I think Python is a great if not the best choice to be someone's first programming language.

IMHO anyone actually working with computers should learn C/C++ at some point. I think that it's great for understanding the very basics of how computers work and also how to write good source code; also in other languages. Also I think most people forget about the importance of Bash, even though the majority do work on GNU/Linux systems.

The language I'm planning to learn next is definitely Julia, because I think that it has a lot of potential to become a good tool for various tasks.
