Comment on Your favourite programming language is not good enoughparent

Comments

Your list is very short and consists of languages that are quite similar to each other. I recommend learning ten or so programming languages from several different paradigms. It will take about a decade but it will be worth it.

You should include one flavor of Lisp, a statically typed functional programming language (like Haskell or ML) and another declarative programming language (like Prolog).

Of course, by being proficient in any of the languages you mentioned will probably guarantee you a safe job, but having broader horizons in programming and computer science will make your programming career more diverse and interesting.
