probably not C#, unless you're also interested in C# for other reasons
C# is heavily class-based, and to my knowledge TS is only barely object-oriented at all, right?
Headcrab Zombie:
I don't think a language can be "barely" object-oriented, I can't think of anything that would fit that description, afaik it either is oo or isn't.
Either way, Torque definitely is; everything you can see and interact with is an object; an instance of a class.
You can also make script objects and assign them a class field, and make methods specific to that class.
With that being said there's really no point in "learning one language so you can learn another"
If you want to learn a specific language, then just learn it.
GoldenLego:
I've gotten into, Lua, C++, C#, and recently gml. (game maker languange) Although I've forgotten alot of the other three because it starts to blend in. ;c

oh
I wonder why I thought it wasn't
also, by "barely," I meant that it existed but wasn't very full-featured

I think he's worried about there not being enough good-enough resources for torquescript
idk how much that is the case, but I'm sure that it would be a lot easier to learn one undocumented language from example if you already knew another language
