Following the language discussion, I have a very simplified view of 
them. Like humans, language choice depends on who is having the 
conversation.

Computer talking to itself:  		C. Upcoming: Go
Computer talking to another computer:  	Python
Computer talking to a person:		PHP
Person talking to a person:		Beer

The lines blur sometimes; C/Go can be used for computers to talk to each 
other but SOA seems a big deal and Python deals better with that. Beer 
makes PHP seem more fun sometimes.  :)

There are specialty uses, as well. Java on Android, and the like. The 
real question is, what domain do you want to be in. Learn that language 
and the attendant skills like Git,Svn, SLDC, debuggers, etc.
