Despite all the "holy wars" regarding the best language, for most projects the choice of language is arbitrary. Possible exceptions are projects where access to the hardware is essential, or there are hard real-time or memory requirements.

Most of us don't have the luxury of programming in the language that we love most. This may be because the legacy code was written in a different language, because of contractual requirements, or even because your boss prefers a different language.

I suggest that you learn whatever languages can keep you employed, and develop any personal projects in the language you love.

Good luck!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
