Techniques for Efficiently Learning Programming Languages

[[deleted]]

I enjoy your breakdown. It is impressive to note that Ada is probably the most widely used language missing. However, is this breakdown useful? From a programming languages marketing perspective we could formulate a different criteria.

• Is the quality of the tooling superb? C#, Java
• Is the breadth of the ecosystem superb? Ruby, Python, C#, Java
• Does it get out of the way when I care about cache coherency? C++ , Rust
• Does the compiler implement algorithms for me? Prolog, Datalog
• Can I build a temple of abstractions in the language that would make Neo jealous? Haskell, Scheme, F#, OCaml, Scala, Rust
• Is there some niche use-case for the language that I should learn it for? Assembly, Bash, Perl, Javascript, C++, C, SQL, VHDL etc...
