It's not about learning a program, it's about learning to program. The language is less important.
But there are concepts that aren't available in all languages, which could be a reason to learn another language.
Java is object oriented, but functional programming with Lambdas weren't available until Java8. If you've been working only with earlier versions I'd recommend to have a look at Java 8, C# or F#.
Another aspect that a lot of people have a slightly dim view of is Data. So learning SQL and some set theory isn't a bad idea. Also understanding why normalization is so important. (And when not to use it)

I have a problem building a custom version of FFMPEG but I have no idea of the correct forum in which to ask for help with it. Any suggestions?
I might add that I am building it under Windows 7 using MinGW and Msys2 environments.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I would suspect whichever language it was written in would be the most appropriate forum.

It's in C but that isn't really the problem. I am getting a weird error message during the MAKE part of the build. I am familiar with Windows programming but haven't done any real Linux style stuff since I used UNIX in 1984!

When I do the make command it goes off and does a lot of stuff but then comes back (with an imagined screeching halt) to:
AR libavformat/libavformat.a
C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-4.9.2-win32-seh-rt_v4-rev2\mingw64\bin\ar.exe: libavformat: Permission denied
library.mak:39: recipe for target 'libavformat/libavformat.a' failed
make: *** [libavformat/libavformat.a] Error 1 I am doing this using Msys2 under MinGw on Windows 7.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That is usually quite a useful piece of information.

Usually, yes. However, I theoretically have permission to everything everywhere on all my machines so this doesn't really help me!

UAC can be a fickle beast on Windows 7.
Unless you're logged in under the local Administrator account, you'd be surprised what things you can get blocked from doing (even running under an account in the administrators group.)
I'm going to assume you're invoking make from the command line? Try running your command prompt as administrator first (if you haven't already.) If that fails, try setting the properties on all of the utilized exes to always run as admin. If that still fails, I'd try turning off UAC entirely (I usually use TweakUAC, but last I looked I think it moved to either a paid model, or ad-ware  )
I know many people advise against disabling UAC completely, but I find it gets in the way more often than it helps...

Years ago I had to compile the FFMPEG stuff using Cygwin rather than Mingw32. Not sure if that's relevant anymore though.

Cygwin is alive and well and I nearly chose to use it instead of MinGW - I might have to try it yet.

Sure, but you're not going to find many MAKE folks in the ASP.NET forum for instance. Your best bet is the language it's written in still.

If you have problems with Make, I suggest that you post in the exorcism forum!!!

Or QA - it's not "limited" to a single topic in the same way that the forums are.

It's more likely to be related to the program than the language, so how about an FFMPEG forum[^]?
