I'm really diving into C++ in my school class. My teacher is way into object-oriented programming. I also do BASIC, TI-83 Variant, PHP, MySQL, HTML, and I know a little C#. Programming is fun.

Not entirely true...

Second why would i ever want to program for anything but macosx, or perhaps linux? (and for linux, there's limited support for cocoa via. gnustep).

You may never need nor want to. Some do for various reasons; both obvious and otherwise.

yea, but those use obj-c to bind them.
Cocoa in it's nature is an objective-c api; it is ismply a set of objective-c functions. It is nothing more.

Oh, I guess java can use it too, but why use java unless for its portability?

I use gamemaker's programming language (www.gamemaker.nl)

It is similar to C++.

I'm completely new to any other language, but I'd like to learn C++, Python, Lua, and ActionScript in order of priority.
