IMHO there are only three alternatives left these days when creativity 
seems to be fading.... C - the prince among languages and Eclipse + Java 
  - the future already today.

And - For learning purposes - the highly underrated Pascal by Niklaus Wirth.

In my mind C was created as a tool needed to create UNIX....Where did 
creativity like this vanish?
