Starting from 0 which language would you learn to be employable fastest?

Question

mod · Accepted Answer

Javascript, SQL, PHP.I didn't see PHP mentioned here, so I just want to throw out there that you shouldn't underestimate how much legacy PHP code is out there to be maintained.I think Python and Ruby both make you pretty employable, as well, and I prefer to work in those. But on the web, you're going to have to learn Javascript anyway, so might as well start with it.

TypeScript and React - these jobs expect more junior people, are fastest to find, the firm will educate you, and it pays the most.And IMHO it's the best language and ecosystem you can get into today.

JavaScript without a doubt. It will enable you to do front-end work which is more beginner friendly and also can be used for the backend as well with node.

I do not remember Which language I was first introduced to as a kid, but I do remember being very on excited because it did not seem related to anything I was interested in. I agree that something like JavaScript/XML is a good place to start when learning new languages because it is so accessible and immediate. I once showed a young, budding nerd how to animate SVG files with jQuery, and I could see his mind being blown in real time. While it is not as deep and has constraints, JavaScript does still have most of the basic concepts required for any of the more advanced languages.

The TIOBE index [1] can be used as a good guide for your question. Python would be the first choice. In my personal opinion, however, I would rather advise RUST, since many projects switch to this language.[1] https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
