10 programming languages you should learn right now!

[parad0x]

Found it here

Well, isn't that list a load of bullshit?

Not a single functional language in there.

This list was written by some clueless person who merits languages not on their technology, but their job availability. BS.

ACK

This one is better (and a bit more interesting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR8fQiskYII

Isn't it too old. It was posted on 2006.

I've seen all of them, great little videos.

[Kulverstukas]

VB shouldn't be on that list. WTF.

[Zesh]

VB shouldn't be on that list. WTF.

Screw you was my first thought but then I looked at the list and it listed .NET so yeah...VB.NET shouldn't be on that list but Classic VB should.

[str0be]

LMAO, AJAX is listed as a language even as they acknowledge it isn't.

If I would make a list it would be something like this:

1. C (procedural)
2. C++ (oop)
3. HTML (web)
4. PHP (web server-side)
5. JavaScript (web client-side)
6. Python (scripting)
7. C#/VB.Net (microsoft)
8. an assembly language (low-level)
9. batch/bash (system scripting)
10. Java (Android)
(11. Haskell 12. A Lisp language 13. brainfuck)

A language from each "category" or something like that.

Your list of the first 10 languages isn't much better.

Why C and C++? What is the benefit?

And Java is in the category Android? That's like saying a banana is in the category banana cake. Yes, you can do Android applications with Java, as well as you can do banana cake with banana, but that's notthing that is typical or a characterization for either of them.

HTML is not a programming language.

Each category in terms of programming paradigms would be: functional, logical and imperative. All of your first 10 languages are imperative.
Haskell and LISP are functional and like with C and C++ I question the sense in having both of them if you want to cover a broad variety of programming languages.

[dense]

Well, I did put category in quotations
I meant more in the sense of how/where they were used ie. Microsoft,  I meant they were used on Microsoft products (windows, xbox, win phone etc.).

Why C and C++? What is the benefit?

Mostly because they're general purpose and run anywhere.

[Deque]

Mostly because they're general purpose and run anywhere.

I meant what is the benefit in having both? They are relatively similar.

[dense]

Yeah, you're right. I included both so you could have a choice between oop and procedural but I just realized you can use C++ procedurally too :l

[vezzy]

Just for shits and giggles, here is my list with no actual order by importance. Mine is more oriented on trying different paradigms.

1. C (the standard procedural language)
2. Smalltalk (the definitive object-oriented language)
3. Lisp (functional programming and historical significance, it pioneered such concepts as dynamic typing and recursion)
4. Assembly (low-level concepts, understanding of CPU registers and machine instructions)
5. Java (for enterprise purposes and to get a feel of the actual contemporary object-oriented paradigm)
6. Prolog (logic programming and artificial intelligence)
7. Python, Perl, Ruby or Tcl (any general purpose scripting language, preferably Python or Perl)
8. JavaScript (client-side web scripting, aspect-oriented programming)
9. Shell scripting + sed, AWK and bc (system administration, pipeline programming, general purpose tasks)
10. REBOL (language-oriented programming)

Additional/alternate picks: Haskell, Pascal, C++

im actually surprised no one has hit RPG, COBAL, or Lansa
