Because I’m in my very early 20s I missed out on the huge Java craze. Everything was Python when I started getting a more formal education and before then all my work was in C++. Knowing more languages would obviously look better on a CV but I mean if I would benefit in a practical sense? I have two friends who are long time Java devs. And recently another friend who generally works with legacy C++ based systems from the early 2000s late 90s period had to work on a bunch of stuff in Java. Java is clearly still in large scale use among older systems. So would it be likely that eventually I would need to work on Java systems myself when my job is mostly JavaScript currently?
I don’t know if I exactly have an interest. I love reverse engineer and hacking work but that’s probably better as a hobby due to it being so specific. I’m in uni for Cyber Security so preferebly any language related to that. I mostly work with JavaScript just because I do a lot of Web Dev and server side code. C++ was for game modding stuff. I have been looking at Rust for a while and what I’ve done I found to be easier than C++. And am planning to do future projects in Rust. Mainly game dev stuff. Which again tends to be better as a hobby over a job. But it translates over to other things.
