I disagree - if you want to be well rounded you SHOULD learn assembler. 

If your looking for a nice higher language to learn Java or Objective-C are both
good (There is even an Objective C PM library on hobbes, and I am sure Obj-C
will get more attention with Macintosh as well). Java is getting more attention
every day, and I prefer it, to say C++.
