    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.

      (serious, curious) 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.

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

              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 ! :^)

                    We're too busy polishing our old turds to start anything new. :rolleyes:

                    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? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

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