Best programming language for job security?

With the increase in outsourcing to places such as India, and with the recent surge in NPCs trying to learn to program, which programming language should a smart beginner learn first in order to stand out and have in-demand skills?
C++? C?

Fortran

COBOL for the legacy

Get a clearance and work for a contractor. If I get fired, I can literally take the elevator to another floor of the office building and get re-hired. Good luck finding cleared Indians.

If you're programming to get a job, you're doing it wrong.

You're gonna have to learn multiple languages sooner or later. Focus on learning concepts and problem solving to be able to adapt when things necessarily change instead of specific languages. Learn both high level and lower level programming.

a tour of c++ is useless

Java / JavaScript, get a job and move to non-programming roles.

Javascript or Java.

Is this a joke?

Is this a joke?

Hopefully WebAssembly ends up eliminating 95%+ of JavaScript, along with the Code Camp kiddies puking up horrible code.

Well the folks who originally programmed in Cobol / Fortran are not getting any younger so they need new coders who know the language

Go drink some bleach, shit for brains.

The systems that use the languages are going away as the coders from that generation are.

There'll always be a few people who know the languages you can hire if you really need to, but demand is not high.

$3 trillion dollars of transactions pass through COBOL-coded systems every day... lots of money to be made just maintaining those systems.
Would probably bore the new coders to death though since the half-century code is probably rock solid at this point

Can you elaborate?

same as lifting for girls

are you fucking retarded
there's no reason not to program for a career
it's not like art

The transition to more modern systems won't happen overnight & you need people who understand both new & old to make a smooth transition...
Anyway : flexibility is the best job security we can get.

I would recommend learning all of Java, HTML, CSS, JS, and on top of that learn frameworks for them too.

JavaScript

Kotlin for general purpose JVM
JavaScript for web
C++ for games
Python for science and research

Isn't JavaScript one of the MOST outsourceable skills? And web dev in general?

C++, it's the language for smart people
