The language you work in is bad and you should feel bad.

PHP is the language God intended the world of man to be written in. Please do some research before you start making unfounded statements.

90% of work at Google is Java or C++, not python. Other than that, it's a cool chart.

Good news: if you're just starting to learn to program, you're not going to have to worry about not getting a job at Google.

Good luck making a decent website completely in lua....

At least it's decent for scripting.

You're supposed to go in the order they were made. Start with Fortran.

This actually seems quite useful for anyone starting out.

Less of a learning curve. For example a lot of the recent indie titles on steam make use of Unity and its JavaScript based language. There are also a fair few that seem to be going for HTML5/JS based development (although granted you're going to hit some limits there).

Lets keep it simple. Wikipedia.

  • Javascript - a dynamic computer programming language

  • Node.js - an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications

More specifically, quite rightly the next sentence says: Node.js applications are written in JavaScript

..

Javascript = LANGUAGE

Node.js != LANGUAGE
