@@osemudiame123 me too, i love the put everything in compile time thought. You can do almost anything with C++. You can build amazing abstractions that only cost you what you use. Soon alot more tools are added to the language that makes us make better abstractions. For example: Modules, Concepts, Compile time reflection, Meta-classes. C++ is amazing and evolving. It's also great for multi-core processors. And soon RISC-V is around the corner with alot of cores. And C++ works great on that. Also for webassembly C++ is an amazing choice.

One of the few really informative videoes I've seen on this topic. Subbed! I (have to) use Java at school. Although I dont find it fun, and a bit bloated, I agree that it's a good way to teach important core concepts. I've recently started CTF-ing, though, and Java seems inferior in throwing together quick scripts on the fly to solve some of the problems i meet there, compared to Python. Is it recommended learning two languages in parallell? I would really like to get a decent understanding of Python for CTF-scripting, but have Java as my main focus as it's what we use in uni. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Dad explained what programming means to me, and told me that they make less money than avarage and I started liking it and liking it until it became my passion and now I know Unity c#, Roblox Lua, discord.js, C++, python, html. Only then to realise being a programmer can get you rich
Perfect video for anyone who has this question that which language to learn for which purpose ! My path was 8085, 8086 controller in parallel of C and C++ in college and later Java and C# as an electives. C++ is best language to start and perfect reasoning given by you. Robert Lafore's book is one of the best for C++
I started with a language barely anyone uses, moved on to a language that barely anyone uses and now I‘m using a language that barely anyone uses. I think I‘m eligible for all three categories!
An observation I want to add : I hear people say learn python for machine learning all the time. I think people want to learn machine learning only after they look at the high salary , not knowing that you can't just get into machine learning like you can with being a developer. Machine learning and ai is still treated as a traditional science , engineering field, not a programming field. You'll most likely need a master's degree to get hired .
After working for years with Java, I'm really enjoying learning Kotlin. It doesn't have as steep a learning curve as Scala or Clojure (pure funcional languages). Instead, it feels like an improvement over Java, with some very welcome features, such as the usual syntactic sugar (with the ability of creating DSLs, a neat feature), extension functions (no more Util classes), better functional programming support (at least more than lambdas and streams), etc... I'm mostly using it for personal projects, still figuring out the Kotlin way of doing things, embracing these improvements to write more concise code. It's fun :)
Hey Joma, Greetings. Great YT channel, nicely edited. I'm subscribed because content is great. You're very knowledgeable, honest and cool. Kudos Joma cool!
Boy oh boy! I have been watching shorts on this channel without subscribing until this one. I just both subscribed AND clicked on the like button. Sold!
This video is accurate. At the end of my CS degree, I had learnt all the common programming languages and could learn any new language in about a day (1 day for the basics and 2 days to be proficient). Like he said, programming languages aren’t important to professionals, because we know all of them, and it doesn’t take long to learn new ones. It’s the libraries, frameworks and support available for whatever you’re trying to program that matter because it means you don’t have to write your own 😂
Studying as a mechanical engineer student, I think Matlab is the easiest one, but you cannot learn the details of coding while they’ve done all these for you😂😂 Thanks for your detailed and useful suggestions!
If you want to pass interview, learn c++ (just for interview only) If you want to excel in current job places, learn python or Java. Why I pick c++ over others for interview? 1. Many sources code written in C++ 2. Less modules (less imaginations) -> easily ace during white-boarding 3. Plain code in C++ 4. Java or C++ can be easily to be understood
I’m really enjoying this channel a lot! Just discovered it a few days again. I would like your advice on something. Naturally, the answer to this question will ultimately depend a lot on how quickly someone can learn programming. My question is this: “Is 40 years old too late to learn programming from scratch, for example SQL, and still make it in the tech world and land a good paying position?” Part of me is discouraged, because I didn’t start trying to learn programming in my mid-twenties or even early 30’s. I’m not expecting to become a hot-shot at Google, but I’m wondering if I have a fair chance to nail something solid at my age in the future.
I earned a bachelor's and MBA but went back because the job prospects were too good to ignore. While the hours can be insane, it is just a good idea to have a computer science degree and learn about technology.
Started programming because I wanted to do math and statistics. I was amazed by the for loops and if elif statements because I saw endless possibilities in python. I felt hyped creating a program to calculate pi and optimise it but later I started creating games and dvelving into networking and I realise what a lie I have been living in. I don't want to get a stupid degree when I can learn every programming language because I enjoy it. I would much rather program instead of school and I am already equally or more addicted to programming then gaming. I am now going to learn java as my second language a proper object orientated language.
4:40 - In my case, my company is telling me that I am a Senior grade developer in technical terms, but that they can not move me from Junior because I tell my opinions too much, saying that I am too "implosive". Basically telling me to shut up. I will not change who I am for ANY company. If they don't want my honesty, I am starting to think that this is definitely not the right company for me. What do you think @Joma Tech ?
Honestly, even if you love doing what you are, you're still working so it's not your free time. And if you're doing more work and better work for junior developer pay I would switch companies if I was in your place. I myself I'm a junior developer I got a job 7 months ago I'm getting a hang of it and company has been great and already gave me a raise after 6 months but ya, when I start doing more work and better work than a regular junior I'm expecting my pay to raise. I do love doing this as my job. But it's still a job it's not my free time. And I don't like staring at a monitor for 8 to 8 and a half sometimes 9 hours a day. So yea.
I have been working in software development for more than 20 years now and I have to say that this was a very good video, very good advice about the languages. I agree that Javascript is a very good language to learn, than you can extend that knowledge to also learn Typescript as well.
Scheme and C are used as starting languages because they are tight and minimalists. That mean you will only need a few days to know everything the languages offers. Mastering it is another story altogether; but the less time you have to learn specials syntaxs, the more time you can dedicate to learn to use your toolbox. With experience you might wear more and more toward a tight, small, well behaved toolbox anyway. That's why all the language end up looking the same: you're better of sticking to the core and avoiding any special constructs and eye candy.
I think the LAMP stack is still plenty viable for personal web projects... especially given the extensive documentation on the internet and due to the fact that most pet projects won't need the extreme availability that may be supported on the MEAN stack and I think the more secure infrastructure of LAMP will actually be more useful...
Usually, it is not you who choose which programming language to learn (unless you want to become a degree-less programmer). For example, I studied engineering in two different universities (in two different countries) and both taught me programming in C++ and Matlab. However, the thing that I voluntarily chose to learn myself, and turned out to be important for my career, is Linux. In fact, universities unfortunately do not teach Linux at all, so do yourself a favour and self-learn Linux and, in the meantime, leave the programming language choice to the curriculum of your university.
Java or C++ teach you way more than python (about object programming, types etc.) but it's maybe too much for a beginner. If I should recommend one language it would be Javascript (witch is quite a big bite to learn properly .. and it has basically infinite ecosystem).
i enjoy coding cause i like to build stuff but i also enjoy problem solving...when your trying to find that one mistake in a huge page of code and you find it and fix it... man so satisfying
I would disagree. I think for beginners they should do python first so they don’t trip up on malloc and garbage processes. Then C follow by C++. Especially with little guidance c can be real beast. I remember pointers in function took forever to understand
Most people start with Python then they never want to learn C. My friend was a case. C is an easy language to learn (not using) even though you have to do memory management manually. Not only that, understanding memory helps me a lot what going on under computers.
@@Belgarathe As someone who writes C++ in production, I would say if one wants to write C++ then there's no need to learn C first. C++ especially since C++11 and now with 17 ( and 20 coming soon) has become a very, very different beast compared to C. Good practices in C++ are way different compared to C, you learn C then you will have to unlearn a lot of C style of coding when writing C++. The only benefit I can think of from C is pointers , but lets' face it, any competent C++ book will teach raw pointers first anyway and then move to smart pointers.
My list goes as this: 1.Java 2.C++ 3.Python After that, it’s whatever interests you (Swift for iOS development, JavaScript for web development, etc etc) Now here are the reasons for why I chose these 3 languages particularly. 90% of the Fortune 500 companies use Java, which makes it almost mandatory to know it if you wanna get into a big company. With the JVM, Java is a very versatile and high performance language used in many aspects of software development. Like Joma said, C++ is great for graphics and if you know the language, it is easier to transition to other languages from it but it doesn’t have as high of an interest and popularity as Java. And Python is at number 3 because of its great versatility and ease of work, which as Joma said, makes a great language for interviews. That’s the order in which I learned them but I’m not in no way biased. Plus, if you haven’t already noticed by Joma’s videos, Python is good for data science.
1.Java - For business and versatility. 2.C++ - For screaming speed and low level HW stuff 3.Python - for ML, AI, or Web 4. JavaScript - for browser based apps
I’m a 3rd year mechanical engineering student doing an emphasis on mechatronics. My degree barely skims the surface of CS, like I had to take 1 intro to C++ course for my degree but that’s it. I saw that a lot of my peers knew how to code, and I was had mostly forgotten what I learned from C++. So with the quarantine I started learning JavaScript and I’ve been working on a discord bot. Next I plan on doing a web app.

@@osemudiame123 me too, i love the put everything in compile time thought. You can do almost anything with C++. You can build amazing abstractions that only cost you what you use. Soon alot more tools are added to the language that makes us make better abstractions. For example: Modules, Concepts, Compile time reflection, Meta-classes. C++ is amazing and evolving. It's also great for multi-core processors. And soon RISC-V is around the corner with alot of cores. And C++ works great on that. Also for webassembly C++ is an amazing choice.
Bruh literally the 4 languages I have practiced the most on the side with science degree in college and the things he said... getting my opinions confirmed lmao
Thank you my friend! You solved all my questions in my mind! 👍
I just watch this vids for the memes. This man is comedic gold.
and info, dont forget that..
There is so much fact in this one video than anything I've ever seen. Take my word for it as a CS bachelor's graduate
"JavaScript is the only language that u can use to build an end to end app"
is that true? why are you quoting
yeah, it is actually pretty much true as I am a javascript developer and I can do both client and server with single language..
Taught python in my intro course, and c++ in my intermediate Comp Sci and also data structures course. Not sure why java was not the language we had to learn like the other schools in the area, but oh well. Great points in the vid! I’d definitely say python is amazing and is rightfully a top language.
This is my first time on your channel. I like the fact that you talk very honest. I’m a Newbie. Great example with tic tac toe, to explain front & back end, and storage
You gotta new Subscriber! 👍🙏
Solid advice. Personally, for the future I'm interested in learning Kotlin and Rust, they will probably replace Java and C++ eventually, or at least be on par rivals.
Sean Kelly Nah. I don't know about Java but replace C++? then you have to rewrite almost the entire world of software
@@khanhchung4103 Yeah, that's true. They'll always be legacy code, but when it comes to new projects, there is a possibility for Rust to win out over C++ in years to come.
@@khanhchung4103 Obviously what he said can only refer to new projects, not maintaining and expanding old ones. Duh!
Perfect to the point explained! The exactly relatable video to a CS fresher I would say !!
Please make a video about which frameworks are better for specific type of work, would really appreciate it. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you for the guidelines!
BRO, thank you so much for the insight. I have a master in biology, i work in biotech and forensics, and i feel i want to learn python and R for the future because of the need for AI and machine learning in regard to optimization and development in these fields. REGARDS!
MAK 4891 Python will fit well with you
Best video that shows right path. Thanks Joma.
Java was my first language and picking up Python is pretty simple since the syntax isn't as restricting
Damn, that must've been very sad 😭
8:20 Hey man, I came to that conclusion on my own while trying to make my own browser extensions, and then found that many other people feel the same way. Although I honestly have nothing against Javascript or Javascript developers, they're far stronger than I. I'm probably just smooth brained when it comes to JS.
Edit: Love the video by the way.
You can see four languages on the preview, cause Joma starts count from 0)
Thanks for this video and your advices!
One of the few really informative videoes I've seen on this topic. Subbed! I (have to) use Java at school. Although I dont find it fun, and a bit bloated, I agree that it's a good way to teach important core concepts. I've recently started CTF-ing, though, and Java seems inferior in throwing together quick scripts on the fly to solve some of the problems i meet there, compared to Python. Is it recommended learning two languages in parallell? I would really like to get a decent understanding of Python for CTF-scripting, but have Java as my main focus as it's what we use in uni. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Dad explained what programming means to me, and told me that they make less money than avarage and I started liking it and liking it until it became my passion and now I know Unity c#, Roblox Lua, discord.js, C++, python, html. Only then to realise being a programmer can get you rich
Perfect video for anyone who has this question that which language to learn for which purpose !
My path was 8085, 8086 controller in parallel of C and C++ in college and later Java and C# as an electives. C++ is best language to start and perfect reasoning given by you.
Robert Lafore's book is one of the best for C++
I'm glad that I started with the one that build cool stuff. Thanks :)
Your videos are very helpful! I always look forward to seeing more content from you!
I started with a language barely anyone uses, moved on to a language that barely anyone uses and now I‘m using a language that barely anyone uses. I think I‘m eligible for all three categories!
Can I know what language it is? Fortran? Pascal? Basic?
An observation I want to add : I hear people say learn python for machine learning all the time. I think people want to learn machine learning only after they look at the high salary , not knowing that you can't just get into machine learning like you can with being a developer. Machine learning and ai is still treated as a traditional science , engineering field, not a programming field. You'll most likely need a master's degree to get hired .
fred d exactly, machine learning requires very good math and statistics knowledge.
After working for years with Java, I'm really enjoying learning Kotlin. It doesn't have as steep a learning curve as Scala or Clojure (pure funcional languages).
Instead, it feels like an improvement over Java, with some very welcome features, such as the usual syntactic sugar (with the ability of creating DSLs, a neat feature), extension functions (no more Util classes), better functional programming support (at least more than lambdas and streams), etc...
I'm mostly using it for personal projects, still figuring out the Kotlin way of doing things, embracing these improvements to write more concise code. It's fun :)
I laughed so hard throughout this video. You make this field of coding entertaining and fun. Stay blessed ❤️
Yeah the one that made me laugh is the boobies one
@@adamalaa6784 1:30 lol for sure
Hey Joma,
Greetings. Great YT channel, nicely edited. I'm subscribed because content is great. You're very knowledgeable, honest and cool. Kudos Joma cool!
My first language that I really learned was Java, then C# (basically the same), then C++.
Boy oh boy! I have been watching shorts on this channel without subscribing until this one. I just both subscribed AND clicked on the like button. Sold!
This video is accurate. At the end of my CS degree, I had learnt all the common programming languages and could learn any new language in about a day (1 day for the basics and 2 days to be proficient). Like he said, programming languages aren’t important to professionals, because we know all of them, and it doesn’t take long to learn new ones. It’s the libraries, frameworks and support available for whatever you’re trying to program that matter because it means you don’t have to write your own 😂
What did you learned at first?
Glad to see you back with real info Joma :)
"Why is PHP not on the list for web apps?" - Zuckerberg
They hate it
cuz react
Facebook has some php modules but they have build some compailer to translate php to c. So ciao php
Because php is crap
In my opinion lol
@@SigmaGamerProzst why ?
Thank You for sharing!
Studying as a mechanical engineer student, I think Matlab is the easiest one, but you cannot learn the details of coding while they’ve done all these for you😂😂
Thanks for your detailed and useful suggestions!
If you want to pass interview, learn c++ (just for interview only)
If you want to excel in current job places, learn python or Java.
Why I pick c++ over others for interview?
1. Many sources code written in C++
2. Less modules (less imaginations) -> easily ace during white-boarding
3. Plain code in C++
4. Java or C++ can be easily to be understood
10:04 I had to pause and google that up 🤣
don't look at the images that you get when you google this
@@kantar007 too late
The best advice I've heard in my life. Thanks a lot
I learned C++/Python Self. At university i learned first years C. and after Java, Java, and more Java ... I prefer C++, Python, Java

Yacine BENAFFANE depends, C# good too, and html if you think is a language.
You simplified it a lot for the newbies, amazing video bro!!
Thanks a lot bro! Some of the information available can be daunting when you are first starting out but eventually you understand.🙋
I’m really enjoying this channel a lot! Just discovered it a few days again. I would like your advice on something. Naturally, the answer to this question will ultimately depend a lot on how quickly someone can learn programming. My question is this: “Is 40 years old too late to learn programming from scratch, for example SQL, and still make it in the tech world and land a good paying position?” Part of me is discouraged, because I didn’t start trying to learn programming in my mid-twenties or even early 30’s. I’m not expecting to become a hot-shot at Google, but I’m wondering if I have a fair chance to nail something solid at my age in the future.
14:40 *Universal truth.*
Its just an opinion
I earned a bachelor's and MBA but went back because the job prospects were too good to ignore. While the hours can be insane, it is just a good idea to have a computer science degree and learn about technology.
1:29 THIS is when I liked the video 😭😭
This was a very helpful video.
Started programming because I wanted to do math and statistics. I was amazed by the for loops and if elif statements because I saw endless possibilities in python. I felt hyped creating a program to calculate pi and optimise it but later I started creating games and dvelving into networking and I realise what a lie I have been living in. I don't want to get a stupid degree when I can learn every programming language because I enjoy it. I would much rather program instead of school and I am already equally or more addicted to programming then gaming. I am now going to learn java as my second language a proper object orientated language.
good video. probably one of the clearest, maybe the clearest video on this topic i've seen
4:40 - In my case, my company is telling me that I am a Senior grade developer in technical terms, but that they can not move me from Junior because I tell my opinions too much, saying that I am too "implosive". Basically telling me to shut up.
I will not change who I am for ANY company. If they don't want my honesty, I am starting to think that this is definitely not the right company for me.
What do you think @Joma Tech ?
Honestly, even if you love doing what you are, you're still working so it's not your free time. And if you're doing more work and better work for junior developer pay I would switch companies if I was in your place. I myself I'm a junior developer I got a job 7 months ago I'm getting a hang of it and company has been great and already gave me a raise after 6 months but ya, when I start doing more work and better work than a regular junior I'm expecting my pay to raise. I do love doing this as my job. But it's still a job it's not my free time. And I don't like staring at a monitor for 8 to 8 and a half sometimes 9 hours a day. So yea.
Very helpful video Bro!! Thanks for the insights!
I have been working in software development for more than 20 years now and I have to say that this was a very good video, very good advice about the languages. I agree that Javascript is a very good language to learn, than you can extend that knowledge to also learn Typescript as well.
Scheme and C are used as starting languages because they are tight and minimalists. That mean you will only need a few days to know everything the languages offers. Mastering it is another story altogether; but the less time you have to learn specials syntaxs, the more time you can dedicate to learn to use your toolbox.
With experience you might wear more and more toward a tight, small, well behaved toolbox anyway. That's why all the language end up looking the same: you're better of sticking to the core and avoiding any special constructs and eye candy.
I think the LAMP stack is still plenty viable for personal web projects... especially given the extensive documentation on the internet and due to the fact that most pet projects won't need the extreme availability that may be supported on the MEAN stack and I think the more secure infrastructure of LAMP will actually be more useful...
Thank you soo muchh. so much informativeee .
Lmao always love the humor you put into your videos!! 😂
Usually, it is not you who choose which programming language to learn (unless you want to become a degree-less programmer). For example, I studied engineering in two different universities (in two different countries) and both taught me programming in C++ and Matlab. However, the thing that I voluntarily chose to learn myself, and turned out to be important for my career, is Linux. In fact, universities unfortunately do not teach Linux at all, so do yourself a favour and self-learn Linux and, in the meantime, leave the programming language choice to the curriculum of your university.
Java or C++ teach you way more than python (about object programming, types etc.) but it's maybe too much for a beginner.
If I should recommend one language it would be Javascript (witch is quite a big bite to learn properly .. and it has basically infinite ecosystem).
it took lots of scrolling to find javascript in this comment section. thank you
i enjoy coding cause i like to build stuff but i also enjoy problem solving...when your trying to find that one mistake in a huge page of code and you find it and fix it... man so satisfying
I wanna know more of this "porndora" program he mentioned
Thanks. Helped me a lot.
if you want to start go for:
1. start with c
2.go to c++
3.after that any other language is easy and amazing
I would disagree. I think for beginners they should do python first so they don’t trip up on malloc and garbage processes. Then C follow by C++. Especially with little guidance c can be real beast. I remember pointers in function took forever to understand
Most people start with Python then they never want to learn C. My friend was a case. C is an easy language to learn (not using) even though you have to do memory management manually. Not only that, understanding memory helps me a lot what going on under computers.
@@Belgarathe As someone who writes C++ in production, I would say if one wants to write C++ then there's no need to learn C first. C++ especially since C++11 and now with 17 ( and 20 coming soon) has become a very, very different beast compared to C. Good practices in C++ are way different compared to C, you learn C then you will have to unlearn a lot of C style of coding when writing C++. The only benefit I can think of from C is pointers , but lets' face it, any competent C++ book will teach raw pointers first anyway and then move to smart pointers.
BRO THE WEB APPLICATION ANALOGY WAS SO HELPFUL
My list goes as this:
1.Java
2.C++
3.Python
After that, it’s whatever interests you (Swift for iOS development, JavaScript for web development, etc etc)
Now here are the reasons for why I chose these 3 languages particularly. 90% of the Fortune 500 companies use Java, which makes it almost mandatory to know it if you wanna get into a big company. With the JVM, Java is a very versatile and high performance language used in many aspects of software development. Like Joma said, C++ is great for graphics and if you know the language, it is easier to transition to other languages from it but it doesn’t have as high of an interest and popularity as Java. And Python is at number 3 because of its great versatility and ease of work, which as Joma said, makes a great language for interviews. That’s the order in which I learned them but I’m not in no way biased. Plus, if you haven’t already noticed by Joma’s videos, Python is good for data science.
1.Java
- For business and versatility.
2.C++
- For screaming speed and low level HW stuff
3.Python - for ML, AI, or Web
4. JavaScript - for browser based apps
Java is trash.
I find it's your best video so far. You spoke wisely :)
C# is also a great language to learn... It has gained a lot of traction lately
I’m a 3rd year mechanical engineering student doing an emphasis on mechatronics. My degree barely skims the surface of CS, like I had to take 1 intro to C++ course for my degree but that’s it. I saw that a lot of my peers knew how to code, and I was had mostly forgotten what I learned from C++. So with the quarantine I started learning JavaScript and I’ve been working on a discord bot. Next I plan on doing a web app.
