Next programming language
I second the suggestion for Ruby. I went from C to C++ to Java and now to Ruby, and I love it. Learning as many languages as possible is a Good Thing (tm). Ruby and Python are definitely worth knowing, even if you never use them in your work experience -- just knowing them expands your knowledge and technique.
.NET is a Microsoft library which is common between its currently supported languages.
I suggest learning Java (just because everyone knows Java and there's good support for it online). After that, if you want an extremely powerful scripting language, try Python.

If you are familiar with C and C++, Java will be very easy for you. I learned Java after C and it was so very simple for me because the syntax and a lot of the constructs in the languages are very similar.
Personally I'm heading down the path of C# shortly as well. Probably not for actual game development (I'm a faithful supporter of C++ for that) but as someone said above, it is very nice for tool development.
