For general areas, go Scripting -> WebDev -> Compiled

Scripting:
Ruby -> Python -> JS -> Lua -> CoffeeScript

Web Development:
HTML -> CSS -> JS -> JQuery -> PHP -> ReactJS -> CSS3

Compiled:
C -> C++ -> Rust -> Assembly (if you're brave enough)

If you get deeper into web development, you should look into Rails, Django, or Flask (Ruby and Python frameworks, respectively)

Ruby is redundant, so is PHP.

Don't learn syntax, understand patterns and fundamentals. The language which has most literature and refernce to these is C++, so that'll be your best bet.
