Don't confuse programming languages with programming. You probably will want to learn a number of different programming languages: Python, C, Lisp, Haskell, and a few Assembly languages. Programming is the art of using one or more languages to do something useful. It's about algorithms, the way problems are approached, and how solutions are decomposed and represented.

Strange that my comment would be down-voted. Language wars are fun and grist for many a comment, but there is more to programming than languages.
