Everywhere is different. The best way to research this is to watch the job market where you live / want to work. It won't take long to work out what employers are looking for.

IMHO, it is better to be language-agnostic and solution-oriented. Language details can always be filled up.
For example, last week, I assisted a student with his Java assignment, though I had worked in Java only 20 years ago. Concepts of class, object, array, list, dictionary, program flow, etc. are the same in all OO languages, isn't it?

I get that. However when one is looking for a job like me, it is what the employers want.

Now you just need to find people that know OO.
Last slate of job applicants thinks implementing a microservice that writes a row to a DB is OO.

You'll need "two languages" then ... one for the "employer"; and one for when you want to work for yourself.

Last time I read on how Tiobe was gathered it indicated that they are in fact gathering exactly that information.
Only sources other than that which I have ever found were based on surveys often from sites that had a bias and often seemed to be of the form of 'do you think you will use X in the next year?'

No, I too was wondering where it was this morning and I realized the egg is on my face. I will start it on Monday to give it a week for voting.
Thanks,

Thanks!
Hey, Sean, if it's a toss between two of my most popular articles last month, please pick Winduino instead of the ascii art one. I think it's a more impressive project. Thanks again!

I don't think I've ever heard of a monthly code contest.

It's only every month going back as long as I've been here.

Doesn't ring a bell.
There's rating articles as the best of the month, but that's not a contest.

Classic line from a movie, don't remember which one;
They have soup du jour on the menu, I don't know what it is but they have it every day.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

I don't remember the comic, back in the 80s (George Carlin or Gallagher maybe?), telling of a visit to a diner with "soup du jour" on the menu.
He asks the waitress, "what's the soup du jour?"
She grumbles, goes back to the kitchen. Comes back a few minutes later. "It's the soup of the day."

Despite trying to serve me several dozen ads per page, selling my view statistics, and effectively getting all their data for free (though they do pay contributors who get to certain subscriber / view counts) they have apparently decided that adblockers are a major menace to society (and profits) and I should pay them £12 per month to not see ads.
Well, that's me not watching YT any more then. Sod 'em - the quality has been dropping for quite a while anyway.

If it's worth viewing at all, it's worth viewing offline. No ads get injected, unless it's part of the original video.

YUP, spot on. That's why I make regular use of the "yt-dlp" tool.
I have a play-list in my account, and as I go through the day anything I spot while working that I want to watch, just get's added to that playlist. Then at the end of the day I simply use "yt-dlp" to download the play list into my DNLA media server then at bed time, lie in bed and watch the days videos.
There are the odd one or two that can't be downloaded here and there, but those are mostly music videos, and ones provided by large chains like vevo and time-warner, but since I don't really care about those, I'm happy to just skip them.
For the most part it's channels like element-14, Microsoft developers, Microchip etc etc that I watch, ones that as a general rule DON'T monetize their channels, and so I don't feel bothered about them not getting ad-revenue (YT still injects ad's into the non monatized channels these days)
I've recently gone through my subscriptions lists and removed all the monatized channels I subscribed too, because honestly, the channels that got stupid are all the ones who started raking in silly amounts of money while not keeping to their original agenda, so I don't feel sad not watching them anymore.
I've noticed too that when they started the pop-ups for ad-blockers some weeks ago, the cross was instantly there and could be closed immediately, also if you opened the tab in the back-ground (Middle click) then swapped back to the tab you where on, the pop-up would still load etc, then you could just swap to tab, hit the cross and gone.
Now they've started putting a little timer on the cross, and you have to wait 30 seconds before you can click it to close the pop-up... not only that, but if you swap tabs, the timer gets paused, and if the pop-up has not yet shown it waits until you swap back to the tab before it continues to be shown.
If you hit F12/Inspect and try to close the pop-up that way while the timer is on, the pop-up comes straight back and the timer restarts... so they are obviously watching and monitoring for all the ways that folks are trying to avoid and close the pop-ups as quick as possible.
What does seem to work however is a simple refresh. I've noticed that the pop-up only shows about once in every 5 videos, so as soon as you see it, just hit F5 and the video reloads without so much as a burp, and auto plays normally.
If they can play games, then so can I!

On my mobile browser (any browser), refreshing the page as soon as the ad before the video starts playing makes it go away. No ad blocker necessary. Is it the same everywhere, I wonder? It may be a regional thing.
Doesn't work on desktop.

On desktop: when ad starts skip to next video then back to previous page (on FF at least)
