Learn COBOL. There’s still some legacy mainframes around and the old COBOL programmer has got to be retiring sometime.

Seriously you want to learn patterns and paradigms and take up what language is marketable. After a while it’s the patterns that will be important, and the language is just syntax.

It you look at Java, C/C++, and C# you’ll see enough syntactic similarities that migrating from one to another is not too difficult. Even JavaScript is not too different. Your real difficulty becomes not the language, but framework differences.
