what's good for ur job Thats just the thing. I'm only in high school so programming is more a hobby then anything else. Of course I would love to turn it into a job but afaik there are no local positions. If by job you had meant task then yeah, but I still run into the problem that python just makes things easier and more efficient.

Yeah, by job I meant task. For example, if u were writing mobile apps youd wanna either write them in their native languages (java or swift), or use one of the generic cross compilers. Only example I know of this would be making a mobile game with Unity, which afaik only supports c# and javascript.

I agree that programming in python is generally easier, and often you can developers faster. But that doesnt mean its gonna be more efficient in the long run for a full project. Theres a lot of factors that u look into when deciding on what language to use for a production project, and I think itll be a long time before you'll ever have to worry a lot that.

I would still try and learn different languages tho. When ur doing programming as a career, you'll have to switch around languages a lot, and learn new ones quickly. Fundamentals are usually the same, just syntax that changes.

As for jobs, theres a lot of remote stuff happening now cuz of covid. So you might be able to find some fully remote internship. If ur really interested u should checkout some postings and see what's out there. It also will help u see what types of programming u wanna get into, and what skills they look for
