I was very happy with Java until I went for undergraduate studies and there were like python, c,c++, etc.
I also used to feel like which programming language would be fancy and wealthy to learn but it ended up with confusion and nothing!
I jumped into web world via some course and got a keen interest in js. Then one day I found about es6 and js prototypal nature and all, so it went like digging more and more and then finally to learning react.
And yes figuring out these what not easy when you have new stats about PLs and other things brought up. I always decided what things I want to do right now. I had a very strong knowledge of core java which could help to learn to build java apps like my friends but somewhere I was able to understand my interest.
You need to start something to know what you actually want. If you know a little bit C start with that and see where it's taking you.
Nowadays I am not doing any web development and into compiler construction and I never knew that while starting the web dev. (I wanna be only a frontend web developer :P).
And be happy and keep sticking to what you are doing!

Hi wiz(sir). Thanks for sharing your journey. I have a question for you. As you said you worked as a front end developer and during your undergraduate program you familiar with languages like JAVA and Python. Now the question is sometimes people's said that if you are a front end developer with languages like HTML , CSS ,and Javascript then your market value as a front end developer will be low but if you have JAVA or Python based front end developer your market value will be high is that true?? Or for both have equal value ??

I guess I am not that much experienced now to answer that since I am in my final year undergrad only. It's just that I got opportunities remotely for working as a react/redux dev after my second year. (So now you can remove that sir from the parenthesis.)

Some of my friends are deeply into frontend dev and they are like really earning well by expanding their areas of reach -knowing saas, new frameworks, graphics designing, optimization etc. They know python as well but it's not the part of their jobs.
