As a hobby, I have been working on a project to predict football (soccer) scores and odds. I currently carry out all the maths and statistical analysis in spreadsheets. The project has grown to several interconnected large and complicated sheets, often the cells run out of space for the formulas and its awkward to edit.
The time has come to move on from a spreadsheet and write a piece of software, but I have no idea which language to use and learn. Apart from analysing past data, I currently produce alot of graphs showing trends, a bit like stock charts; Ideally I would like to represent more of the data graphically (the spreadsheet creeks and groans already). At some time in the future this project may be put on the web, so requires a language with good web compatibility.
I would welcome any advice or suggestions on which language to use and learn.
cheers
