Which language is "hot" nowadays?

Question

I just finished my engineering in computer and I want to work as a programmer but I don't know which language I start to learn which helps me get a nice and well paid job so I want to kniw which language is currently most beneficial to learn. Also not to brag but I can learn any language easily so there is no problem in that. Help a fellow programmer and thanks in advance

Answer 1

Python is always popular due to ease of learning without losing power.

Javascript is the king of the internet these days what with React and Angular and jQuery.

php is still the king of backend with 80% of we traffic generated by sites using php.

Big data and analytic stuff often use C++.

Games often use C#.

Android is all about Java and with 8 in 10 phones sold globally running Android its huge too.

They are all hot for different reasons to different groups.

Answer 2

It depends on the area. According to my current interests I could see that Javascript and C# are having a good time, since their ecosystem is currently quite solid and there are many interesting news.

But in the same way someone can tell you that Python, R or Julia are having a good time (in relation to those who work with large amounts of data). For the Android developments Kotlin has a good time, and soon Dart will join it (I have a lot of interest in this language). In the same way Go and Rust begin to have attention in some sectors.

The world of computing is too extensive and has many areas. In each of them there have been novelties and languages ​​that are 'hot' today, so to respond objectively is something that I do not think possible. You should specify a little more what you would like to do. In any case, this article from last year offers a salary average of languages, that may help you:
