Programming and web development is very popular right now, so I suggest you take a little dip into that and listen to what I have to say! I am a website developer, and thanks to amasty I discovered a great platform that helps me grow my business and I don't regret it one bit. Check it out too and then it will make it easier for you to grow in this field!

It depends on the type of work
I've used C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript.
I won't say it's the best programming language, but Javascript is my go-to for pretty much any programming project these days, because:
- It's lightweight: If you just want to write a script to a simple task, it's much easier than OOP languages like Java. I sometimes just open a terminal and type node to start an interactive shell to do simple text, date, array transformations on the fly.
- It's ubiquitous: You run Javascript on a browser, on a mobile app, in games, on your toaster...
- With Typescript, it can be a typed language which helps in very large projects.
One thing I find persistently annoying about Javascript:
- node modules: everytime I need to setup a JS project on another machine or container, something tends to to go wrong with the node modules...
Python I guess. Heard from a Software Engineer friend. Hope that real language not a snake😋
I think that Haskell deserves more attention in general, there are many reasons why: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wh...
The one that gets the job done with minimal hassle.
