Learn Ada, C & Java. :-) Ada will show you how to do it right. C and/or Java are much more common in real world use. C moreso for embedded computing and Java moreso for network applications. Ada is still in use in aerospace so it is valuable to know - but I'd suggest learning it because then you will understand the flaws & weaknesses of C and Java.
