Python is very useful if you're getting into machine learningI would go with Python.I am a software professional and recently started learning python.Realized future is going to be python.
Future is cloud and python is very useful in cloud environment.especially when using with lamda functionsPython is very useful if you're getting into machine learning
It's not multithreaded so it's not the best for anything computationally intensiveFuture is cloud and python is very useful in cloud environment.especially when using with lamda functions
Yes! Its in big demand in the area it was designed for but if you step out that domain, you quickly are met with the language's short-comings.For what he's planning to do (bots, web apps, i assume SaaS, etc) it's perfect. Golang is being used for a lot of big data projects and it's one of the most desired programming languages at the moment.
C & C++ are longer around? Are you mad? Even Pascal is still alive and well in Object Pascal/Delphi.Way back in the day I learned C & C++, Java, VB (Visual Basic) and Pascal. Out of those, I've gotten the most "bang for my buck" out of VB and Java. Of course, with the exception of Java, those languages are no longer around or have been replaced by newer versions like C#.
I'd say learn Java or C# for the basic fundamentals. They tend to be the "Programming 101" type classes out in my neck of the woods. I'd also suggest Python. That seems to be the most useful and most interesting as far as bot creation and work in the counter hacking space.
Of course, it all depends on what you want to use the languages for. If it's to complement your HTML skills so that you can engineer better websites, then PHP, JavaScript and AJAX are a must. I had to hire out AJAX and some more intermediate level PHP work recently for a web project I'm working on as it wasn't around when I learned coding and I didn't have the time to learn it now.
I had no idea Pascal was still around. Thought it had gone the way of Cobol. As to C/C++, near as I can tell all the colleges out here have replaced it with C# and Java. Though some are teaching Python now, which is nice.C & C++ are longer around? Are you mad? Even Pascal is still alive and well in Object Pascal/Delphi.
In my opinion JavaScript can be a good choice:
- With the same language, you can build
- Websites (reactjs, vuejs, ...)
- Servers (nodejs, expressjs, ...)
- Softwares (electronjs, ...)
- Bots / Scrapers (puppeteer, selenium, ...)
- It's everywhere
- Access to a huge community
- Can be very fun (you can learn OOP & Functional if you want to)
Javascript is the worst election because the language is a mess. Proof: developers don't program on javascript but in typescript, babel or coffescript.
JavaScript takes a lot criticism because of its odd object model(that odd object model is getting abstracted away in the latest versions of JavaScript BTW) but you can't deny that its support for higher order functions is great.Javascript is the worst election because the language is a mess.
