If you want to "be a programmer" and learn lots of languages, learning
C first will make everything else easier. That's my understanding
anyway, I don't know C. The choice of language would change based on
your goals if they are less general (and less involved) than that, but
most of them are interpreted languages instead of compiled ones.
Depending on what you want to do, perl, python, php, java, or ruby
could all be valid choices, as could a handful of others.
