If you are truly not able to learn several languages, then--for 
"the long run"--you need to learn a language that endures - Cobol,
Fortran, Ada, even (shudder) C.  Not a fad language like C++ or 
Java.  Java is certainly superior to C, but at present, there's
no guarantee that it will still be widely used three years from now.

I find it humorous that the original poster was smart enough to ask
users of eight languages, but some of the replies assume C++ and
Java are the only options!
