As far as practicality goes, FORTRAN is still in the top 10 for important languages still in use. It would certainly be a useful language for you to learn, and, from what I hear, it's not too challenging and it is fairly dry.
Your Java and VB experiences won't help you learn FORTRAN, but if you learned C++ the right way, you shouldn't have too much of a problem teaching yourself. Most amazing jew boots |

Before C++ (and, ultimately, Java) FORTRAN was the teaching language. The first AP tests in computer science were in FORTRAN. It's not used much today in new programs outside of the academic world or places that are using other antiquated systems, but it is still interesting nonetheless.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
