Currently: Java, C, LaTeX
Rest of Uni: R, Mathematica*, Maple*, MiniTab*, MATLAB (F# if I do a computer science major otherwise SQL)

Learning by myself: C++

*I know they aren't really languages shoosh

Any other ones I should try learn by myself for computational finance/operations research?

I admire your efforts in learning C++ on your own. It's such a hacked up language (but very fast and powerful). It's probably the hardest popular language to learn and use well. Most documentation on most C++ code and libraries are really bad, the errors you get from gcc are not helpful, but operator overloading is pretty cool. I like to be able to use the ++ operator on iterators rather than going iterator.next().

There are some good boost libraries that make C++ very powerful, go check them out. C++0x will fix a lot of the problems with the current C++03 standard as well as add a lot of good features, especially auto types and rvalues. ...I was doing ok until I learned about template meta programming and that just completely blew my mind :( Although it should be easier to understand if you've learned a functional language before. I haven't so it completely blew my mind.

Its only taught in engineering units at UWA I think which sucks. Its something I'm expected to learn as a post grad so I might aswell learn algorithms and that by myself using C++.

I sure can. Python's a beautiful language. It's like all the good parts of Haskell and Java.

I've written a programme to teach you regular expressions, and I'm currently writing a tutorial to go with it. I've also written a fairly comprehensive tutorial for GUI programming in wxPython.
