There's no specific language that you need to know, learn what you're passionate about/what helps to do what you enjoy. If you enjoy mobile development, then learn Swift. If you enjoy frontend web development, learn JS, HTML, and CSS. Do understand that learning a language is not just about understanding the syntax of it, but learning about all of the little quirks that come with that language (for instance, JS with promises, C with memory allocation).

Also, for better or for worse, you kind of need to learn a framework/library to get a job (for most languages at least). For instance, there are very few jobs that will hire you with just "Javascript" on your resume; you'll probably need to know something like Angular or Vue.

In programming each language you know can get you a job. The real question should be "what is the language i have more chance to find a job"?

If you are really skilled in c++ you can find very high and well paid jobs. The level is high tbh.
You can learn javascript & typescript, now that the re is kinda tech bubble again, with AI & Saas in general they are a lot requested.

Hope this help.

Hi!

I've learnt JavaScript and it's pretty easy to understand, so it would be a good start point.

I also recommend taking a look at Python, it has a huge community behind and it's also easy to learn.

I have no experience with C++ but from what I've read about it, it's pretty difficult in comparison to JS.
