In any case, I've been thinking over the past couple of days about the different languages, and now I'm even more convinced that I'll start out with C++. It seems like most people think it's a safe bet. And, as I stated in my OP, I rather like the idea of not missing out on anything. I like knowing that I'm in total control over what's going on, and that nothing really "does it for me".
Of course, there will be many challenges along the road, but I'm looking forward to it. At the moment I'm in Thailand and enjoying tons of fruit and chilling out, but when summer starts back home in Norway, I'll be getting a good book on c++(any suggestions?), and start tinkering with code. Something I never thought I'd do
