I'm a bit disagree with your article because of your selection of programming languages.

You didn't mention C# or PowerShell as two of the languages of the .net stack and, of course, Pascal as a language to start learning basic concepts like OOP. I don't know if knowing 5 or more languages makes you a real programner but why not 4 or 6 or 10? Where is the real limit?

I would've prefered to have a programming languages classification as the first part of the article like operations, front end and back end so you will be able to point to several of them or even adding the tech stack where these belongs to so people will have some guide of the relationship between them.

Well, Yes, C# is definitely a great programming language, especially if you are on the .NET background. It may be because I come from Java background and even though I have done web development its not on .NET world. Though, I did explore C# for creating GUI and game development, which again proves the point that its a useful language to have in your arsenal.
