What programming languages are you proficient in?

C#, and Javascript. Right now, I work professionally as a Typescript developer where our tools are React, and Node. However, I do enjoy working in C#. When I have time, I try to play around with Rust since it's an interesting language and I believe there are some applications that could be used here.
 
i started when i was like 12, but of course there it wasnt so serious just playing around :)
then over the years got into more languages. i always liked to be able to build stuff myself and understand how things work.
i would suggest you first learn one language well enough (to master a language it takes many years) and once you understand all the concepts, its also easier to learn new languages.
some have very similar syntax, so it wont take you long to adapt then.
the best thing to learn is "trial and error" as once you fix a problem, you remember it better as compared to when someone just hands you the solution.
so that and just learning by doing is the best. also try to understand the OS you are working with (how it handles processes, the filesystem, memory allocation etc) as that also helps you a lot.
do that all before you get married as you have more time lol now i don't have so much time anymore, but still need to find time to learn new concepts as technology evolves.
as a programmer you never stop to learn. some technology you use for years becomes outdated, new technology arrives, so its an endless cycle.
Wow, thanks for the tips, especially about 'trial and error'. I've applied this into almost everything I learnt but never implemented this while learning a programming language. It gets boring after sometime, that's why I abandoned python courses twice, this my third time trying to learn it. I hope this time I complete it.
I'm not proficient in any of 'em. I'm constantly on Google, StackOverflow, G4G, and everywhere else, looking stuff up.

It seems the more I learn, the dumber I feel.
lol I do the same, I manage by googling stuff and finding snippets on StackOverflow, and then editing the scripts I find on github :D

I learnt python in the past but I've been not using it ever since.

What programming languages are you proficient in? And what would be the ones you want to learn in near future? And if you're good in a language, what would be your advise to new language learners for learning a language efficiently?

I'd start. I know basic C++ and I'm learning Python right now. In near future I don't think I would learn any other but I would increase my fluency in Python. Or I guess, may be Ruby?!
I know python very well and javascript too (not as good as python).
Advice for new learners:
Premium courses >>>> Free youtube courses
Now i am not saying free yt courses are sh!T as a matter of fact I learned python using free books (automate the boring stuff with python) and courses (Mosh's free course on yt) and they were very very very helpful.
But when it came to learning React js, Node js, Electron Js their were no good courses (free) so the only option was to buy paid course and I don't regret that decision. So if you can buy paid courses go ahead but if you can't don't that let stop you from starting ;)

This has nothing to with the post but I would recommend anyone reading this (who is confused what language they should run) to just go ahead and learn js, I mean js is so sexy ooh boi and js has a package for almost everything you will need + you can use it to make frontend apps (of course) + you can go ahead and learn node js too so you can code backend applications + you can make cross platform applications (electron js) + android apps too (react native). Now of course people have mixed opinion about whether you should use js for making android applications but the point you can if you want too.

Dabbling with Object Pascal in Lazarus/Delphi.

'Everyone' will hate on it, but I use it to build software for myself, and it's good for that. I have some books on C# laying around that I planned on learning as first language, but I picked up Object Pascal superfast while staying home one week with corona. And then I've had problems coming up I could solve by using it, so for now..

Teen me in 2007:
*huge list of programming languages here*

Me in 2020's:
Ehhh... Honestly none, I'm shit at all of them but somehow sometimes I manage to write stuff if I really need it.

Even I'm reading 'automate the boring stuff' and as for the course, I went for Dr. Chuck.

I had heard about Pascal but Object Pascal and Lazarus, Delphi, first time hearing those. Would have to read about them.

The only thing that matters is, being able to write stuff when we need it.
 
Python, Java, C#, all basic concepts of programming but not in practice for some time.

do you have any recommendation for a good React course? paid is alright
 
I know enough html/css/js and some python to get by with google-fu :)

I started forever ago tearing things apart and reading george hotz's stuff and 2600... I can usually cobble something together to make it do what I want.. but my background is really more in hardware land.. I know some assembly.. and a couple things related to work experence like ladder logic, asm... some oddball stuff like ericsson's AMOS and Huawei's flavour of MML (Man Machine Language)

Not sure what level of course your looking for, but I took a couple udemy courses by andrew mead on js and react.
 
If you don't like to build things you will just keep getting bored with it. You should take what you are learning and build something. Take
the practice projects and apply them towards your own ideas. Then you start to really learn it. Why learn python if you won't use it for
something? Your problem solving skills level up big time when you apply it to your own projects. Part of being proficient is being able
to put it all together. No need to memorize every little thing.
 
I strarted with PHP more than 10 years ago. Then i meet C-c#. And then typescript is the best choose for me :)

Okay i have shared what I have done till now

Plugin and theme in WordPress using php

I can automate tasks using selenium and python

I can make end to end ai web apps like a scraper that can perform sentimental analysis to millions of tweets on any twitter trend. Using python - streamlit module for visualisation

I can make good looking ui templates using grids. I am proficient with sass

I can write programs in js from simple functions to large ones as well.

I am also able to create rest APIs for different purposes in php and python as well as in node js

I'm definitely not proficient in PHP.

I'm thoroughly proficient in Python, Javascript, & at one point I was creating WP plugins & custom themes but my design capabilities are a bit lackluster so they weren't anything too special.

Don't overthink it like that. Instead of deciding on a language to learn, why not determine a goal or at least take a hard look at your situation. I think C/C++ is great but if you are looking for practicality, then I would suggest you stop and ask what it is you are trying to do.

I am highly adept in PHP. I'm not going to brag because I have been at it for years and always learning new by choosing more challenging projects to take on. My motivation is not "making money" and if that's what's in your mind you are guaranteed to fail...just like a relationship between a man and woman based only upon lust cannot succeed longterm.

I originally wanted to focus on C/C++, and my style is to use C++ features in C coding style, that means functional and procedural...but I quickly shifted over to PHP because at that time I was doing ecommerce and that's what made the most sense. I learned a lot by doing customizations/improvements on oscommerce back in the early 2000s. Today, I do mainly PHP-CLI programs, which are programs that run entirely in PHP including things like a web server, email, and other such things.
