Considering that we'll likely see a further shift in Asian (India, China and possibly Japan and Korea) superpowers into greater global influence what languages (including non-Asian) does Jow Forums think will be useful to know in the coming decades?
Which languages should one learn for tech networking?

C, Python, JavaScript.
Adam Watson
I think you mean COBOL.
Jaxson Rogers
C, Haskell, and scheme.
After you've learned these 3 you've mastered pretty much all programming has to offer.
>C
Lower level, supported everywhere, can implement quick code for absolutely whatever base you need, better understanding of computer mechanisms
>Scheme
Multi-paradigm language that works well for scripting (or standalone), gives access to tons of good literature about computing, helps transition into Haskell, teaches how objects are just a poor man's closure, quite fast compared to other scripting languages (especially Chez scheme)
>Haskell
Closer to the highest realm of abstraction, useful for learning all sorts of mathematical based fields, fast, good language to use to prototype a program and formally test it before implementing in C (or lower level)
With all 3 of these it really won't matter which language becomes the "next big hit" as you'll have diametric sides of the computing abstraction level in your bag and can easily converge from either side to extend your skills in the new language and/or understand it deeply quickly.
However no one will do this just learn Javascript.

Isn't Python or Perl useful for cybersecurity tools?
Jacob Davis
More like script-kiddie programs for pentesting. Unless that's what you meant by "tech networking".
Lucas Evans
For native English speakers there is absolutely no reason to learn another language.
Evan Walker
this, for the most part
mandarin might become important in the next decade though
Adrian James
What I meany by "tech networking" was:
>interact with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.
>Literally China.
Joshua Phillips
All cybersec nerds I know learn assembly, C, and shell scripting.
Michael Johnson
>interact with others
Because Jow Forums knows all about that.
Bentley Sanders
C is based.
Oh, sorry for assuming that Jow Forums had at least a FEW technology professional and not just a bunch of largely Western hikikomori wannabes.
Benjamin Wood
Bump.

I think I read that when Linus Torvalds was writing notes and comments on what was to become Linux he said it never occured to him to use any language other then english.
Justin Howard
Why is English the lingua franca?
Elijah Brown
Because of the vast influence of the British Empire followed by the USA
Jason Lewis
Ah, so Mandarin will soon be the lingua franca in a century, or so.
Adam Price
No it will be Hindi my good sir
Aiden Mitchell
Nah, it really wont.
>t. Chinese absolutely dominating the Indian Sea
Alexander Gonzalez

Oliver Long
My good sir India have space program by 2020 and overtake china population by 2024

Population means nothing if you can't even toilet.

Already checked.
Ian Adams
Thank you zhang, +100 social credit to your weibo account.
Jason Morgan
The Party sure pays well. Still the truth though.
Brayden Howard
Except it's not. Mandarin will never supplant English, at least not in the west.
Alexander Ortiz
No, they'll probably mix into some Firefly-esque dialect.
Jaxson Perez
Bump.
