I suggested the Perl family of programming languages (because I like the philosophy behind it) but just remember that programming languages are tools and have their use cases. Therefore you should choose the language that better fit s the task at hand.
Perl or python

Isaac Stewart
Perl is only surpassed by Perl6
Camden Gonzalez
Perl 6 is 18 years later for what exactly? OP and the others would benefit if you could explain the reasons behind that claim.
The first release of Perl 6 hit on 2015 and since then it has undergone tremendous improvements so it's quite naive to think it could do better in every area than a language that has been under continuous development since around 1990.
Nathaniel Perez
Perl is dead. Learn Python.
Logan Clark
BASIC

>I want to be more employable
Learn Python
>I want to signal that I'm a neckbeard and/or a virgin
Learn Perl
Nicholas Price
18 years too late to be relevant. Noone cares anymore since Python does everything better anyway with syntax that actually makes sense to humans.
Evan Long
Do this OP. Follow this neckbeards advice and impress the interviewers with a complete inability to program in any language and show off the "clock" you soldered together yourself.
Blake Bailey
ctrl+f why not both
I write Perl one-liners errday.
I fix Python scripts because the dim bulb who sits across from me thinks 100 lines of OOP Python is better than one line of Perl.
Dylan Robinson
Don't use Perl, nobody uses Perl. Use Python instead, its actually useful. Don't bother replying to this either, I'm going to bed goodnight
