My 13 year old wants to learn Python.
I’ll stick with good ol’ vbs, thank you. If it works, do not ‘fix’ it! ;-)
Yeah does not make any sense. This must survey every single person on the earth and is tilted to those who think they are developers because they developed a web page at home.
Yep, back-end, node.js started it all.
I’ve been playing with Angular 2, I think it will became the standard JavaScript platform, especially with TypeScript,
I finally got the hang of MS-Basic. Why the heck isn’t that on the list?

Yes I know, people want to continue working on what they’re most familiar and good at.
Unfortunately, one can’t make a living nowadays insisting on using the programming language one knows best, especially when you can’t attract recruiters when you put them in your resume.
I don't really consider JS or SQL to be true programming languages in the truest sense... JS is a scripting language, and SQL is a query language although you can write pretty complex stuff in stored procedures and so on. I used both in conjunction with my applications that were mainly written in C#.
So, put simply, Java rules.
Keep an eye on Swift, the new growing language for mobile (dominating Apple work, coming soon to Android). Good replacement for C/C++/Objective-C, may challenge Java et al.
In short order React will overtake Angular.

SQL SERVER and ORACLE allow programming like features ( e.g. Stored Procedures ).
Awesome! Thanks!
Angular 2 is completely different from Angular, it’s more like Java, with TypeScript.
Yes of course, I mentioned that... but we generally don't develop entire applications using those tools... i.e. the user interface portions and so on. These tools work in conjunction with the main applications to handle the database portion of your applications.
The front ends are all Java, JavaScript. WebSphere is used. DB2 is the DBMS.
the back-end, where the heavy lifting is done,is Cobol....
64 kilobytes is a small playground.
Java script on the back end? Wait, what!?
