I have never seen a demand for Java in the job market where it was more desired by employers than C#.

Having retired 10 years ago, I haven't had to go job hunting in years, so I wouldn't know.

Sure, rankings are perhaps qualitatively indicative, and, of course, any ranking has its own way of ... ranking  . TIOBE, for instance puts C at number 1 place, while Coding Dojo does not see it at all, and SO 2020 ranking puts C on 11-th place if I am not mistaken ... As always, it depends ...

but we all notice that VB is still on the list. Some sigh, some shake their heads and still others rejoice. HAHAHAHAHA

The essential programming languages I need to know are those I use in my current job. Or those I'll need to learn if I happen to get a new job.

I'm curious about Objective C, is this purely because of iPhones and Apple Tablets ?

I think the list applies to those that want to be "average".
Currently, you can make a killing doing COBOL, IMS, CICS, VSAM, etc. in major centers across N. America; many of them remote.

I'm stunned that Ruby made the list, and TypeScript did not.
All that list proves is that management is still in the dark ages, or that we have a huge codebases using antiquated languages, but then COBOL and FORTAN weren't on that list, so who knows.
Lists are pretty much useful for only one thing, and that's wiping the stuff that list rhymes with.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No developer needs to know ten languages at once.

I never heard about the R language so far - and it made it in the top ten !

Is SQL really a "programming language"?
Never mind the fact that the "L" in SQL stands for "language"...

Oops! Okie dokie.
But, I would have never thought of it as a word(s) for CCC.

Evidently, I was the only one who did. 
I first encountered those words during a 7-week stint in Bangalore and had to look them up. Lakh crore only appeared when discussing government spending. Just like trillion in the US.

|

|

I never thought a non-South Asian from an Anglophone country would even be aware of those words
Where did you even come across them?
Cheers,

Aah, I had seen this message earlier today but after posting, I see your later message where you explained to Sandeep.

Tired, and some joints hurt, but mostly I'm OK.
Went upstairs, emptied the waste from the cat's litter tray, sorted the washing into light and dark wash, brought them downstairs, started one wash going - and I'm knackered. Takes me right back to just after the Full Covid Experience ...
