To conclude everything,there are hundreds of languages but there are very few who make it to the list. Every language has its own properties and can be preferred depending upon which field you need to work on and how easy you want it to be.So, choose an area where you want to work, pick up the suitable programming language and give your best to learn it. No matter which language you pick up,code should always be clean and understandable by anyone who is going to maintain it.&nbsp;
Ending with a quote of Rick Osborne who says:
"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."

There are so many languages currently in the market and in demand which can pay you well. Every language has its own features, pros and cons.
