As you can see Java is on the top! It is not bad reason to start use it 🙂 You can find the whole top here.
Just a small observation: one shouldn’t learn the currently most popular programming language, but one which WILL be popular in the future. Learning takes time you know… 🙂
Probably, you are right but the life is very short and somethimes is better to get benefit benefit than wait when the your favourite language will be on the top IMHO 🙂
I will just be silent. Totaly speechless 🙂
