Yeah, this question is almost impossible to answer.
Is a screwdriver more useful than a hammer? Sort of depends on the task at hand, no?
In terms of pure LEARNING--in the abstract, for the purpose of learning programming concepts? I guess C is good for logic, though you have to deal with bitwise operations that are archaic. Perl would be a good compromise there. Java is a good place to start to learn Object Oriented programming, though that's a lot to bite off if you've never even seen a for-next loop.
