Can anyone suggest a programming language having popularity currently for use?

Question

Expecting answers from senior software developers.
Also please let me know how much time it would take me to learn and start using it. 
I am looking for a short and easy not too confusing (having several technologies/API/inbuilt functions to do the same thing!!). I just know there are few famous names like scala, clojure, ruby on rails, grails, groovy etc...  you can suggest among these languages too.

I know C, C++ and a little bit of java. java seems too lengthy and not so easy. so don't suggest these 3 or php.
Please suggest a good one used in companies and having job opportunities (less competition). 
Thanks!

Personally, I would suggest Python, it is simple enough to learn, but has the capabilities of something much more complex.

Java is a good language, I suggest everyone should know. Python is getting popular and it's pretty easy.
