If you wander too often, you don't need a language, you need a purpose.

Find a project you're going to finish. One that's going to motivate you enough to go through all the work needed to build it and debug it. Then come back and ask us about languages.

Any language is great if you spend enough blood, sweat, and tears bending it to your will. No language will be good enough if you don't commit.

So, ends first, means second?

[DanielBMarkham]

Yes. If you wander, by definition you'll always have a difficult time learning any language. Whereas if you're able to focus -- perhaps by writing an app that you find compelling, perhaps by simple willpower -- then you'll actually master whatever language you're attempting, which will naturally lead you to learning more difficult concepts.
