I want to begin writing my own scripts and plugins so i need to learn the programming language Mel Script uses, but don't know which one it is (i think i heard it was C++)

MEL is its own language.

If you're writing plug-ins, you use C++, but if you're writing MEL you use MEL.

MEL and plug-ins are used very differently. Generally, plug-ins let you make your own nodes or MEL commands, while MEL lets you build user interfaces and construct scenes automatically. You should definitely learn MEL first before you consider writing a plug-in.

I've written a book (listed in my signature) on MEL scripting that you might find useful.
