Such articles are pointless and misleading for people that starting their IT career, imho. Programming language is just a syntax and semantics... for some kind of platform. So real question is about which platform to choose. Often it's more than one language and plenty of complementary tools. It's bad move to hide such things from beginners.

Also article is very one-sided: system programming, embedded systems, machine learning. No, lets focus on web development

Actually, due to many messages I have got I don't think anyone finds it pointless besides you. This article is barely anything about web development that's how I know you didn't read it. It's helped quite a bit of people who were stuck where I was. I'm sorry you feel as if this article was pointless and wasted your time yet still commented. So thanks for your support?
