On the flip side I appreciate all the free expensive alcohol I get.

    Depends on what you want to do, which isn't super helpful

    If you're doing web stuff, JavaScript will always be in demand

    If you wanna do games, C# is probably ok for like unity and godot. c/C++ if you wanna get more technical

    Kotlin and Swift are the current things for mobile client development, both are pretty good languages to learn

    If you wanna do science, then Python is the way to start there, BUT python is also a great place to get into programming as a novice

      Python is such a clean language; I love it to death and every time I have to go back to C++ I weep a little bit knowing how much cleaner and self-documenting my code could be

      Second this.

      Rust is awesome and I love writing and maintaining it, but also it seems like every rust job on the boards is crypto bullshit. I got lucky and was able to learn rust on the (non-crypto, lol) job, which is otherwise mostly python and TS.
