I find this very confusing. I guess a top position in this ranking is bad, so I should rather learn #18 ruby than #1 elm, right? What about the languages that didn't make it on the list? Should I learn python? Should I learn cobol?

in my opinion and experience, Python's a good choice. I work with huge databases and building applications that do pretty cool things, and I've only ever seen Java and C++. there are Python components, but they're never doing heavy lifting. they're always a side program to a main program written in Java

just my take, but decide what industry you want to work in, find out what languages they use, and learn the ins-and-outs of those. good luck!
