I'd say

Java/C++ - General purpose applications
Python/shell scripts - useful for automating tasks
sql - standard for anything using a database
php - for the web, not that important tbh

Java code looks so much like C++ code that if you understand one you can read the other and know what's going on, so it really doesn't matter which you learn, so it just kind of depends on what your team uses.
Python serves the same function as Perl, which is an older and kind of dying language, but if it's a large tech company that's been around a while they might use Perl, so again it just depends on which your team uses.
The basics of SQL are really easy to learn, just focus on SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, and JOIN statements.
PHP is shitty.

/e If you're looking to get startedI'd start with Python. It's very beginner friendly, powerful, and lots of resources to learn it. You can even start here:

Python is all you will need until you need to make bigger programs that you need to run faster but with the speed of our computers today, its not really needed to optimize your code so much.

There are converters that will convert your python code to html or javascript so you can make cool webpage stuff and apps also host your pages/apps using python as a server in your network.
Im learning some simple pygame stuff atm and its very fun with lots of documentation out there to help you when your stuck. <-- really good place to start.
The best part about python is that its free and that you can crossover from linux/mac to windows and back with almost no changes need, thus saving you lots of time!
I think that there should be a forum added for python stuff on d2jsp cause I would be sharing some examples of stuff im working on and also trying to learn from others on it.

Get it done fast:
Python
Html/Javascript

Harder stuff / optimized code:
Golang
C/C++
Assembly

Have you tried Cython? Python development speed, C execution speed.

Stay away from assembly lol.

We need to benchmark cython verse crystal one day.



Why? It's useful to know if you want to do anything outside of the realm of the average programming career. Such as reverse engineering, integrated circuit programming, and other things.
