Which programming language should a NEET dropout learn?
>>
BASIC & HTML. It's all the rage these days.
>>
>>55378043
python
you will thank me later

There's no reason to learn any programming languages. Nobody will ever hire you, and it's impossible for one person to make a useful application.

If you really want to learn a language, learn something that will give you bragging rights on /g/, such as Befunge. The more obscure and useless the language, the better. Remember, you only really need to learn how to do FizzBuzz.

OP should rather study C & Haskell. He could then go onto /dpt/ and /wdg/ and claim that all other languages are inferior..

>>55378280
get out, newfag

whichever one you feel comfortable with.

In my opinion, scripting languages are nice to begin with.

Please don't reply to bait, or at least sage while doing so.

>>55378043
If you ask honestly - JS and straight to React JS.

Keep at it, anon! Once you learn 10 more programming languages I'm sure the tech companies will accept you!

There is no single, magical programming language you "should" learn alone. Every language is situational in terms of what the project calls for.

What you "should" learn is how programming languages (in general) work.

Pic related. Now do this or kill yourself.

Are you saying my current job is fake?

I'm calling it bait because it's bait. What are you doing on /g/ if you think programming is dead or don't know any language? Consumerism threads? Latest new nvidia gpu hype?
>>
>>55378385
No. You ignore the whole situation in favour of pragmatical approach.
He is a neet. That makes the choosing actually valid.

This.

Start with HTML. It's only a markup language but if you're an absolute pleb, you'll see the rewards pretty quick.
HTML, CSS, JS then either Python/C++ or pick some meme framework like React or AngularJS and continue on with webdev.

The best advice is start with something easy then it all depends on what you actually want to build.
>>
>>55378388
Programming jobs absolutely exist, for well-connected people in a few major cities. Nobody is disputing that. What I'm disputing is the notion that OP will somehow be materially better off if he learns any programming language.

There's plenty of small businesses that are looking for people to maintain a website for them. Basic css/js + wordpress knowledge can earn you a somewhat regular salary if you know what you are doing.

Of course, I didn't say he could get into the latest cool startup or even do entry-level enterprise shit, but it IS possible to get a job with webdev.

A NEET can easily survive on HTML CSS and JS alone doing freelance. On the other hand many businesses will hire pajeets and people without degrees for grunt job if you can fizzbuzz on Java and/or any C
>>
>>55378043
if you like making pretty UIs, start with javascript and build your knowledge around node.js and webdev

if you like building backend stuff, learn java or go or ruby

if you like building low-level systems, learn rust or c or c++

I'm not being serious. I like Undertale but I think it has some serious quality problems that could have been easily addressed.
