Our team from Codementor (https://www.codementor.io) has built bestprogramminglanguagefor.me for people interested in programming to answer this question:
What is the best programming language to learn in 2016?
We've analyzed various factors including:
- beginner friendliness
- scalability
- community
- career opportunities
- future
Take this fun quiz to find out!
Do you take into account community? For example I found the PHP community very divided and hard to get to know, while the Ruby community was much more straight forward. Again, just my personal experience, but did you consider that in the quiz? I took it but didn't see any recommendations based on that.
I especially like that the quiz doesn't just spit out a language for you -- it actually dives deep into all the advantages and disadvantages of the language once you land on the page, like this:

Really awesome!
I can see something like this being a great resource for students looking to pursue a future career in tech and help teachers who are petitioning US states to add computer science as a HS graduation requirement.
