"Software is eating the world," venture capitalist Marc Andreessen famously declared. Someone has to write that software. Why not you?
There are thousands of programming languages, but some are far more popular than others. When a company goes out to find new programming talent, they're looking for people familiar with the languages and systems they already use — and they don't always want to experiment with newcomers like Google Go or Apple Swift.
Here are the programming languages you should learn if you always want to have a job, as suggested by the popular TIOBE Index and Redmonk Programming Language Rankings.

COBOL?
What about HTML?
I’ll throw in IEC 1131 (for PLC machine controllers - LD/SFC/FBD/ST/IL). Lots of machinery using this and needing writers, debuggers and troubleshooters.
I would like to see this list with a score showing how hard it is to learn each of the codes.
No G-Code or PLC ladder logic for CNC machines, automation, and robotics???
All those burger flipping machines are going to be in high demand with the $15 minimum wage. I charge $110 an hour to program for automation and my CNC machines. There is a big demand for people that know these skills.
Whatever happened to Jules Schwarz?
yup i hear ya, major CAD programs can generate CNC code but to tweak and maintain programs still requires coders, programming slicks and bots is good money but it requires taking classes in STEM not just programming for websites and DB's which seem to be the only thing kids today want to do people in jobs that MAKE THINGS will always be in demand and for good money
HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.
The one I use does.
This thread is becoming a morass
I guess I am out of luck with FORTRAN. However, I did sweat through a class in Java Scripting. It was the most difficult class I have taken since physical chemistry in my undergraduate days. I learned enough to take a Java Script someone else wrote and paste it into a web page. Writing your own scripts I found quite daunting.
Ah. Got it. Thanks.
JOVIAL, SNOBOL
