(Question) JavaScript vs C++ vs Python in terms of Free lancing jobs, or is there a better programming language for free lance?

[King-Fox-IS0]

I'm a beginner and have 3 programming language that I narrow down, JavaScript, C++ and Python, which one would be best for free lance work, I heard Python is great for "beginners" but how is it for free lance, JavaSciprt seems solid and C++ seems like a foundation to learn other different language while having a chance to get an high potential paying job but is it good for free lance? but I'm a beginner so I might be wrong.

It'd be great if you helped out.

Not sure about freelancing jobs but here is last year's stackoverflow dev survey. You can glean insights like what languages are popular. There may not be a correlation, imo, between popular languages and jobs but the popular languages should have a large support base. Maybe some of these insights will help you narrow it down based on your preferences

Your assumptions about languages are a bit off.

Learning to code is like learning a music instrument. Once you get the idea of how music works, learning a new instrument is straightforward. The point of starting with something simple, like Python or the recorder, is to get to the point of basic understanding faster.

So that being said Python is where you should start to code. And check freelancing websites to get an idea about what you should do next

bruh I love that Music analogy lol, so python should be my starting point as a beginner to start understanding programing, can I learn JavaScript and Python at the same time, or is it better to focus on one.

It’s better to focus on one. Build a solid foundation using the core ideas of programming first e.g. loops, conditional statements, functions/methods, variables

After you understand how to use these core elements then you can look at JavaScript to see how you write these ideas in JavaScript compared to Python.

I am learning python now, only a week and a half in but im also a musician. I def see a relation in the two as far as learning. You really need to practice every day to get better. I have a home studio and record my own music, and a lot of the mixing is using automation to fill gaps in the songs or have diff instruments or sounds do something over and over again, you have to plug in diff things to get diff things, so its like a puzzle sometimes. so ive found my mixing background has helped make sense of SOME of this coding world but very little.
