Nice blog post my friend.

the OP image is actually quite accurate. every single utensil has a purpose that can't (or can, but inefficiently) be filled by another. C++ being the jack of all trades and master of none is especially apt.

The core of our software is written in it. I like the fact that it's a simple language where everything is obvious at first glance.
Sticking to a single language is dumb.
Use what is best in each scenario.
XML is the only scenario where I would use a dumb as bricks language to create something that was never intended to be used for anything just because there is so many tools for it these days

How can you unironically like Javascript, but not the language that does what Javascript tries to do, but far better?

You can learn them in about a month max if you already know how to program.
That's it, really, learning the other languages is totally optional unless your job specifically lists them as a requirement because you'll be using them daily.
My opinion is - Java very good. Do not needed anything else yet - Java can do it all. There is almost no reason to use other language than Java.
Sup Forums = faggots or helpful people. Literally no in between
you guys have no understanding of what C++ is if this is all you have to say for it. i don't even understand why you participate in these threads.

I use C++ regularly and think it's a fine language that's often maligned and definitely SHOULD be learned if for no other reason than interacting with the huge amount of codebases that use it or the languages it inspired. That doesn't mean I think those are the ONLY reasons it should be learned.

Wew lads. Wanna bet that half the people ITT only know Java is shit because their Minecraft runs slowly (not even Java's fault but the fault of a shit Engine from Mojang).

>i'm younger than 40;
Most of the Perl users I know who are not European are older than 40 (besides me)
I'm in biology so Perl was popular with the older generation. Apparently European biologists still use Perl.
Today most biologists use Python and I use both
>literally why ever write javascript directly when there's better languages to transpile from?
Because it adds an annoying step and will inevitably cause some problem at some point, like any source-to-source compiler does.
The only valid scenario for a source-to-source compiler is porting legacy code.
> C++
Useful and fast, but rather bland.
> JavaScript
There's a reason there's so many compiles-to-JS languages. An incredibly inconsistent and poorly-designed language, which is a shame because it's pretty powerful.
> Java
Worth knowing for the sheer number of jobs, and good as a first language. The JVM is really powerful, but there are better languages for it than Java
> PHP
I first tried to learn to program with PHP and almost changed my major.

If Perl, Smalltalk, and Scheme had a love-child, it would be Ruby. Beautiful and underrated language, though it can be slow.
> Perl
People love to hate on Perl, but Perl effectively created the languages that are slowly replacing it.
> Lisp
A fantastic family of languages with a fragmented, oddball community (read SICP!1!). Clojure is really worth learning.
> Visual Basic
At this point it's just dumbed down C#.
> Haskell
More hip and less practical than Lisp, but equally interesting.
> Python
The design is pretty bad, but it has enough great libraries to make up for it. It's easy and useful enough that there's no reason not to learn it.
> C
The syntax would fit on an index card, but of all the languages here C is the hardest to write well. Programmers should ideally be able to read it fluently.
Try to write a supercomputer particle simulation, a machine learning algorithm, or a high-frequency trading program with JS and then come back to tell us all those languages are easy or useless.
Also server-side JS is worse cancer than PHP.

Only reason to use it over C++ is either if performance is absolutely critical, or you're maintaining something written in it.
What I'm really learning from this thread is that I wouldn't hire anybody who visits Sup Forums.

If you use it for any kind of actual programming, you're a fucking retard.

>C++
The language for any kind of power application. I've used it quite often, though not as much recently in my career. I've primarily worked with C++ in three ways: embedded C++, QT, and graphics programming. The language is radically different in each of these. It can be a nasty language from time to time if you're not careful, but it gets the job done better than most.
>JavaScript
I can't stand this pile of puke, but it's one of my most used languages out of necessity. I've written frontend JavaScript, Chrome extensions, Node, and even that poor Johnny5 bullshit for Arduinos. Quite literally any language that transpiles into JavaScript is better than it.
>Java
Haven't touched since college.
>PHP
Super shitty, though I'm not sure if JS is worse or not. I've only recently started working with PHP professionally due to unfortunately needing to fix bugs in an older codebase. I cannot stand its lack of consistency. One thing I do like is that unlike literally any other web stack, PHP has a hilariously simple solution to concurrency.

We hired one of those hackathon nubs last year around this time, before we realized we made a terrible mistake. He only knew RoR. I think Ruby and RoR are fine, and I can see the appeal, but it's left a bad taste in my mouth ever since we hired (then fired) that idiot.

So if PHP is shit, Python is shit, and JS is shit, what language do you use to make a web site that's more than just static HTML?
CSS
C++ is the English of programming languages
>C/C++/C#/Java/Fortran/F#
Collectively form the backbone of the industry. If you work with these languages, you have the greatest chance of actually being an asset to the sector you work in and society at large.
>JS/Ruby
Webdev. Needs to be contained in Webdev. Should not be compared to the above in terms of utility.
>Perl/Python
Somewhere between the categories mentioned above. Really good complement to the first category.
>PHP/Pascal
Legacy languages, the latter more-so than the former.
>Haskell/Lisp/FP languages besides F#
Entirely academic, not very practical. Good sources of inspiration for continued development of languages in the first category.
>Go/D/Rust/other supposed successors to C/C++
Only Go has a future out of them all. Useful, if only because they provide good ideas to include in future standards of the first category.
test
JavaScript is fine if used as intended, for light front-end dynamics.
It shouldn't be used to generate the entire fucking page and it REALLY shouldn't be used for backend.
It's a glue language. You can't build something quality out of nothing but elmers glue.
