Best Programming Language - that is easy to learn !?!? and most company needs !?!?
If we had one that fits the above description, lots of programmers will jump in and it wouldn't be hot anymore.
I am ignoring all the frameworks, tools etc
C and C++ to my knowledge is the best programming language and again it is not easy (subjective) to learn and not very hot.
Java on the other hand is comparatively easier than C - very hot in the market and again to master it - you need to learn lot of frameworks and technologies
Python is very interesting - simpler than Java and C (similar to C though) and extremely powerfull. Companies (even Google) are adopting this language rapidly, will become hot in few years.

There is no such thing as the "best programming language." Programming languages are like tools, and you need to use different tools to do different things. But to compare them would make too much since; it would be like comparing a hammer to a wrench and asking which is better. Probably a better question is what is the most popular programming language. Java has been the most popular language for a while now, as it is platform-independent. Of course, it also has its disadvantages. C, and C++ are also two big programming languages used a lot in industry. If you're looking for a language to learn how to program with, I would suggest Java as it allows you to easily learn the concepts of objects, methods, and programming logic.

there is no single "best" language for programming.
sone languages are more suitable to a particular task than others.
for example, microsoft EXCEL is a very high level language for expressing the relationships among several fields of data.
visual basic for the construction of simple interactive Internet pages.
LISP for writing an artificial intelligence.
MUSHcode for creating interactive worlds.
figure out what you want to do.
Learning ANY l;anguage (start with basic) teaches you to think logically and organize the task.
once you have that skill set, picking up the minutae of individual languages becomes trivial.
