Hi list!
Sparing you a lot of useless back story here, but for fun a for
personal amusement (NOT for serious work), I'd like to start
learning
a programming language. If I'm gonna learn one, I might as well
learn
something that gets a lot of use in the open-source world. So which
one to choose? C or C++?

Perhaps consider learning both. They are very closely related, as
far as languages go, as you may have guessed from the names. If you
learn C to begin with, then, C++ is like adding extra words to the
existing C vocabulary.
Note, most programming languages are very similar in terms of the
concepts they describe. So once you have learned one, the rest come
much more easily..
HTH, Tim.
