Young Programmer
I'm only 16 years old, and in the future I want's to be a programmer, I have allready looked into Perl and simple stuff like JavaScript.
My question: Wich programming language should I go for, wich will be popular in the future, (where talking languages like Java or C++ etc.)......

It depends on what type of programming you want to do and what field you want to be working in.
C++ is probably the most widely used language throughout different fields. Java, VB, ASP, PHP, etc are more specialized languages compared to C++. Perl is less specialized and widely used throughout the Internet and UNIX community.
My suggestion would be learn C++ and Perl. If you can tackle C++ Perl should be relatively simple.

For windows, C++ and Visual Basic are good to know.
And I don't care about the Mac users.
