Javascript. I've "known" it for 10+ years, but now I think is the time to take it seriously. The web stack is getting dumber as a lot of UI and logic moves to JS inside the browser.

Databases got dumber in exactly the same way -- do you know or care if your database has good stored procedure support? Eventually it won't matter much what the server is running.

+1. It's just getting faster and faster as it becomes the focus of the browser wars, and it's not a bad language, really.

I'm fresh to JavaScript this year, but am keeping at it, and adding JQuery to the mix, this summer.
